The aim of the theoretical work is the inductive presentation of different predictors of fear of death and the search for comparison and shortcomings of the methodological approaches used. Death is a taboo subject. Professionals in the helping professions share society’s reluctance to discuss death and struggle to separate their own views from their professional roles and behaviors while caring for individuals and families facing death. Helping professions report the unwillingness of professionals to work with dying or bereaved users, which should not be the case. A review of the researches used, found that the results were mostly inconsistent. Women in most of these studies show a greater fear of death. With age, the fear of death decreases. Religiosity is positively associated with fear of death in such a way that people who have an intrinsic belief, such as a belief in life after death, have less of a fear of death because they imagine death as the beginning rather than the end. Regarding the quality of life and fear of death, greater satisfaction with social status proved to be significant in relation to less fear of death and greater acceptance of death. The concept of a good death, which originated from palliative care and which aims to show how to live well to the end, is also being developed. Finally, the reminiscence technique is presented, as a very productive and simple technique derived from gerontology, whose goal is to strengthen the identity and empower older people.
