Grief and suffering: a multidisciplinary approach

Abstract

Pain has been a constant company of the human being since the beginning of evolution.

The Judeo-Christian derivations of theology suggest that man and woman lose divine grace at the moment of expulsion from paradise (Gen.3, 1-24). From then on, they will have to experience the "material world", yearning for the paradise lost due to original sin.

The human being, expelled from paradise and driven by his desire for individualization, is condemned to wander through the constellations -inescapable transit between heaven and earth- in a constant search for milestones and signs that guide his conscious evolution.
