Abstract

Este artigo apresenta uma alternativa à formal e impessoal certidão de óbito – a ‘Certidão de Vida’, um documento narrativo terapêutico que presta homenagem às vidas daqueles que morreram. O artigo mostra exemplos de ‘Certidões de Vida’ utilizadas, assim como um mapa de seis etapas de prática narrativa que pode ser seguido simultaneamente, para ajudar a renegociar o relacionamento das pessoas com o luto.
