Starting from the experiences and works of certain Christian mystics of the modern period, for example, Saint Teresa of Ávila, Saint John of the Cross, and Saint Ignatius of Loyola, and drawing on the works of some contemporary mystics and theologians, such as Adrienne von Speyr, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Joseph Ratzinger, Angelo Scola, and others, I will attempt to show that there is a difference between a good death, in a certain sense desired, and a death that inspires fear. Two Romanian thinkers lead me along this path of reflection. First of all, the poet Mihai Eminescu, who said: "I never thought I would learn how to die." Then Mircea Eliade, according to whom modern man does not know how to die, or has not learned how to die; therefore, when faced with death, he experiences profound anguish. Thus, in order to die well, one must be prepared. Returning to the Christian mystics, who based their lives on total love for their neighbor and for God, they help us to understand that love is stronger than the death of the human person and that physical death is only a barrier separating the human being from the vision of a God who comes to meet him. Therefore, for the person who is dying within the horizon of love/agape, death is not the end of everything, but a new beginning marked by the experience of seeing face to face a friendly Person who comes toward him in the dimension of a real Presence.
