Abstract
Focusing mainly on Christian Discourses and the discourse “At a Graveside,” this paper seeks to unfold and discuss the various ways of dying depicted by Kierkegaard.

Special attention is drawn to the divergent temporalities that apparently define the possibilities and impossibilities of dying.
