Abstract

Dying and death is often understood as an ungraspable process, which is connected with a pain perception, fear and people do not like talking about this topic. We also face with this issue in the Czech Republic; often it is a taboo process. Logo therapy and existential analyses offers another point of view at this phenomenon, logo therapy perceives life as the only one that is meaningful, that has its clear boarders. And by allowing this existence of these limits it gives man everyday meaningful content, experience it intensively and to communicate immediately about its end, which is absolutely natural to life and inherently belongs. Only then, when we accept death as something given and unavoidable, we can help our loved ones who are in terminal phases and to allow them a peaceful leaving from their lives. Palliative medicine plays a great role in many dying men, helps men to cope with those situations which are already medical impractical.
