Abstract
We have chosen to talk about these two authors because they are two fundamental people who marked a before and after in the conception of death and in the care of the dying. They are the pioneers in what they promulgate and both have enormous relevance in the changes that occur in the care of the dying and in the novel approach of it up to that moment and that continues to guide our performance today in the care of the dying; These authors make contributions that form a guide in this care for professionals and continue to evolve today, marking a turning point on the concept of death and its care.
