To be able to truly integrate the confrontation with one’s finality within therapeutic work, we need to adopt a tragic point of view, and not give in to the temptation of easier approaches, for example, comic or romantic. It is also important not to forget that finality must not be reduced to only the awareness of the inevitability of one’s own death but that it also contains many other aspects. Finally, in considering death, it is quite difficult to fully recognize its unbearable nature and to resist the many ways of watering it down. Yet, faced with all this, it is still important to have the capacity to be detached through irony or humour.
