Never before has mass death been so present in the media as it is today: Corona, earthquakes, war, heat and drought. Soldiers killed, kindergartens shot at, houses collapsing.

Which sources of millennia of experience have not run dry? Or does it mean to endure a disenchanted world without consolation, because religious offers are no longer communicable in society? In a multi-religious and secular world, can there ever be common mourning that offers comfort and sympathy? Do spontaneous, individually or state-organized mourning rituals offer more robust comfort than traditional forms of saying goodbye?
