Resumen

In recent years, adolescents and young adults (ayas) with cancer and survivors of childhood cancer have started to organize as a collective in Europe. In this context, associations have included in their websites stories by young people diagnosed with cancer or who have gone through the disease. In this study, four of these websites (two in Spanish and two in English) are analyzed to obtain information on how ayas approach the subject of death in their stories. From the total of 128 studied stories, explicit references to death appear in 30. Discourse analysis will show us how ayas give meaning to the end of their own and their friends’ life.
