ABSTRACT
Psychically speaking, our own death’s experience, as our life’s final ending, works as a constant presence and a chronic threat. I would like to call it “the trauma about one’s own future death”, the ongoing and never-ending personal relationship with that final and definitive ending, our own future death (Montero, 2005). However, rather than arguing about expressions, I would like to explain the metapsychological work that results from the conflict originated by “the most touchy point in the narcissistic system, the immortality of the ego, which is so hard pressed by reality” (Freud 1914c).
