For All Saints' Day, a conference to the notice, to death

The first edition of La Mort si on en parlait took place last year in Marseille.

-

A reconfinement in the middle of All Saints' Day, what to fear for our dead?

Not really, since access to ceremonies and funerals remains open up to a limit of thirty people, against six for a wedding.

A proof if needed that death is a part of our lives.

This is why the insurer Maif has decided to tackle this taboo still deeply rooted among many French people with its assembly "Death, if we spoke about it?

»,

which

is a partner.

Adapted to the current health context, the meeting will take the form of a program broadcast live this Sunday, November 1.

For Thierry Monminoux, vice-president of the Maif group, the objective is to desacralize the word around mourning and to approach this often painful moment from an educational angle.

“Death is a subject with delicate ramifications to deal with, but it is also the story of life,” he explains.

Psych, associative, artist

Initiated in 2019 in partnership with Groupe VYV, the program “La mort, si on en parlait?

»Is the second edition of its kind and will include three highlights this year: mourning or how to prepare for this moment of life, digital technology or the idea of ​​eternal posterity and finally the societal impact, i.e. the genesis of the idea of death in our societies.

To feed these three themes, a total of seven speakers (psychologist, neuropsychiatrist, association manager, etc.) will pass the microphone around various round tables.

We will find there in particular the singer Tété, Boris Cyrulnik, neuropsychiatrist and ethologist, Christophe Fauré, psychotherapist specialized in the accompaniment of the ruptures of life or even Marie-Frédérique Bacqué, psychologist and author of numerous books on the end of life.

A necessary speaking time according to Thierry Monminoux while in France this year nearly five million people are affected by mourning:

“We live in a time where even offering condolences seems delicate.

Death was either passed over in silence or approached in an ironic way.

"

Yet it must be prepared whether we see it coming or not.

This is particularly the case of the loss of a child because "even if it is unbearable to consider it, it is a subject which largely deserves to be anticipated", advises the professional.

Digital life after death

“Death if we talk about it” therefore endeavors to raise awareness of this moment in life but also to prepare for its aftermath, particularly from the digital point of view, more than topical in 2020. “Almost everyone has a life. digital today ”, explains the vice-president of the Maif group.

“When you die, what happens to your email address for example?

Who manages your social networks?

So many questions to which various experts will try to answer in order to open up to a larger theme: that of the trace humanity wishes to leave.

Prepare for his departure, accompany his loved ones in mourning, leave a mark of his passage ... "Death, if we spoke" attempts to free the floor on a subject as taboo as it is universal and at the same time prove that a conference on dead in 2020 it is not necessarily suicide.
