    Annotation The paper covers the relationship between time perspective and religiosity in the context of coping with death fear in cancer patients. The study of time perspective is actually significant for understanding the mechanisms aimed at successful processing of stressful circumstances in an oncological patient; it suggests the ability to “go beyond the immediate time boundaries, consciously consider own experience in the light of the distant past and future, act and respond to these parameters, gain experience from thousands of years ago and form a long-term future”; it testifies to prognostic competence and ensure harmonious functioning of personality in the world. The study revealed that the experience of death fear in cancer patients affects the level of religiosity and time perspective. The specificity of religiosity and features of time perspective performs an adaptive function and constructive forecasting of the future; religiosity helps improve the quality of life. It is found that the level of religiosity impacts death attitude.
