Objective: understand how nursing professionals face death when assisting hospitalized patients with covid-19 and the use of light technologies. Method: qualitative study, carried out with 23 nursing professionals. Data were collected between May and June 2021, analyzed using French Discourse Analysis. Results: the speeches revealed the feelings associated with deaths from Covid-19, such as sadness, anguish and impotence. They mention light technologies for the emotional support of patients' families, accepting death as an attitude, learning to deal with this process and demonstrating respect for mourning. Final considerations: understanding the way in which these professionals faced death made it possible to emphasize the importance of psychological and emotional support in the face of losses.
