Is it the common thing about death that we are all mortal? It is not that, a consubstantial and shared property between living beings, that the title of this book refers to. Common death is, on the one hand, an attempt to think about the consequences of losing someone who constitutes you as a person and, on the other, to reflect on what happens in the community when this happens. If, as it is said, those who do not know how to face a loss relapse into pathological grief, what happens in a society in which one does not know how to grieve? Is there pathological grief at the community level? What impact does the loss of a community member have on the whole? Is it just a 'private' issue that everyone must resolve in her house? What impact can the disappearance of shared rituals and the shortening of the time we give ourselves to overcome this experience have? To answer these questions, this essay departs from the journey that unites children's lullabies in the ancient world with the funeral song known as nenia and analyzes the meaning of consolations to be able to think about our own time and our way of facing loss.
