CONT

Enfin, il y a la souffrance existentielle. Celle qui vient entacher la réalité des derniers jours, quand la personne ne trouve plus de sens au temps qu’il lui reste, quand l’idée de la mort paraît inacceptable ou bien encore qu’elle tarde à venir et que les heures qui passent dans l’attente du dernier souffle paraissent insupportables.
