Thanatology seeks to help people find meaning in the process of death. It also addresses grief arising from significant losses that are not necessarily related to physical death or terminal illness.

Its purpose is to provide professional support to terminally ill patients and their families, as well as to anyone experiencing a meaningful loss.
