Death, assume the process with the help of psychotherapy
Death within the life cycle of the human being is an irreversible process and every human being has a very personal concept about this: according to (Yalom, 2011, p.195) "Death is a borderline situation, it is a fact, an urgent experience, which drives the person to face their existential situation in the world" then for (Concepció Posh, 2008) "Some psychologists specify the fear of deathIn very human experiences: regret not ending projects, not accepting the end of temporary existence, fear of disease or dying with suffering and physical pain ”being the process of a disease where death is more latent for being for beinghuman. Comment by Adm: Only the first last name. Correct.
Disease confrontation
Thus, the limit situation can be understood as that disease that could be terminal which could generate a personal change, during the therapeutic process. We find an author who define these terminal diseases distinguishing “two phases: biological terminal and therapeutic terminal. The first refers to the moment in which the vital constants of the person are below the normal limits and are unrecoverable to the available therapeutic pathways, and the second, at the time the disease has progressed to such an extent that treatments or treatments orThey have been exhausted and ineffective ”(Sanz, 1988, P. 83-98)
Others such as (Gómez- Batiste y Roca, 1990) mention certain characteristics of these terminal diseases. First, presence of the disease at an advanced and incurable level;Second, appearance of frequent symptoms such as: pain, weakness, depression etc … third an emotional impact is generated both on the patient and in the people around him, fourth predictable death in a short period of time, fifth explicit presence or not of theDeath as a fundamental cause of this impact, sixth all the factors mentioned imply a great demand for attention both of the patient, family and team.
Within this process, various defense mechanisms, denial, for example, thus generating feelings of anguish and fear of the disease and progress of this.
Adaptation to terminal disease, death or die of a terminal disease presume. The determining factors that lead people to suffer these changes are the nature of the disease and its evolution such as their physical, emotional deterioration, changing symptoms, the predictors of the progress of the disease, since every disease has its symptomatologydifferent and treatments and their side effects vary depends on the disease that is suffering. In addition, the history and personality of the patient can be decisive to the patient-family relationship.
The general vulnerability indicators presented by the patient are affected by the presence of young children, and not seeing who can be in the care of them, and the family role is of high commitment because the family problems that affect the patient can be seenreflected in their health and physical and emotional deterioration and virgin duels can be taken with difficulty. The duel adaptation process can be carried by phases, which are denial or anger, anger, anger, pact or negotiation, depression, acceptance, decatexis or preparatory depression.
However, from the humanistic perspective, based on Gestalt therapy, Martín and Vásquez (cited by Ramírez, 2013), they propose that the duel is presented as a process to balance the interaction of the human being with its environment, to the extent thatIt seeks to harmonize their life condition in the face of the loss of the loved one. It is maintained that death and knowledge of duel, like any event in life, which allows to conceive the importance of people’s existence and feelings, because in everything there is a nature, to know and investigate. Therefore, the cultural construction of each human being directly influences its relationship, and what surrounds it, and it is the duel that allows the human being, to seek support external or internal to replace those shortcomings that it leavesThe death of a loved one.

According to Allport’s premise (1957), which states that "every man is like other men, every man is like some other man, and every man is like no other man" Worden (2009). The adaptation of each person is carried out to the duel of a person assimilates or feels even knowing that as human beings are intervened or different from others, although many occasions are similar experiences.
For his part, Víktor Frankl in his book The man in search of meaning, mentions the suffering referring to duel as “an aspect of life that cannot be eradicated, as fate or death cannot depart. Without all of them, life is not complete ". The pain that is felt when losing a loved and loved one is so painful, and it is not easy to avoid feeling that pain, because it is part of the life of each human being and each person must live it to grow each of the sameor different forms, to experience all those emotions that generates a loss of a love.Similarly, Frank (1991) states that “suffering is not always a pathological phenomenon;More than a neurotic symptom, suffering can very well be a human achievement, especially when it is born from existential frustration ”. In this case, it can be reaffirmed that through the suffering that the person acquires, the opportunity to improve in aspects of their daily lives, can allow him to be aware and responsibility about his life and how to act in many obstacles that arise in the same.
For his part, Worden (2009), "states that the goal is to help the survivor to adapt to the loss of his loved one and that he is able to adjust to a new reality without him or her". In this way, it can be directed to a therapy and comply with a series of specific tasks, which can help the patient in the face of that duel that carries and has not been able to adapt to him, and they are, the acceptance of the reality of theLoss, processing the pain of duel, adjusting to a world without that person, finding a lasting connection with the deceased in the middle of the embarked towards a new life. From gestaltic therapy, the understanding of the duel taken to a process, suggests for its elaboration what and how to do to assume a therapeutic attitude, and it is important that the person lives a process of reflection, in which he finds in himself the resources and elements and elementsnecessary to restore a new balance.
Perls, Hefferline and Goodman (cited by Descalzo, 2009), point out that: “To create or complete a Gestalt, to move on to another matter, the individual has to be able to feel what he needs and should know how to handle himself to himselfsame and to its environment ".
It is worth mentioning that an important variant in death is the level of life satisfaction that the human being has led, those who have gone through traumatic situations are not easy for them to develop effective defenses before the fear that is generated, thus giving a specific rule thewhat is "fear or anguish when dying is inversely proportional to satisfaction" Yalom mentions that John Hinton who discovered in his investigations as perhaps this rule adapts and was reflected in patients with terminal phase cancer, who in common know how to endThis process for which they were going through, but the difference was the attitude, feelings and reactions when facing the situation, the relationship of what was the level of satisfaction they had with life vs. the anguish or fear of dying were evidenced. The data thrown determined that "when life was more satisfactory, death instead, less painful … when the vital satisfaction was lower, the disease and its outcome were taken more conflictive" (J. Hinton, 1975, P.91-111)
The platform (Efesalud Specialized in Health) instructs us and teaches us about one of the disorders associated with death called the tanatophobia;The psychologist defines the tanatophobic as a person unable to develop strategies to face her fear ensures (Vanessa Fernandez) Comment by Adm: Another paragraph chosen randomly with plagiarism. Correct everything.
The fear of death can become so problematic for our mental, emotional and physical health arriving and even somatization due to death or fear of dying, it is understood that naturally human beings should be afraid of death because it is synonymousFrom the end of our life or that of a relative, the important thing of death is that it is healthy to think of it but it is harmfuldifferent perspectives, see death as a reminder that invites us to value our life and that of the people around us, giving an added value to our life independent of our personal or collective experiences.
If as a child we explained the meaning of death, the issue of death would be much easier and more preventive. Death we become more discriminative when deciding how to take our lives and what utility we will give to our vital period on this planet, to make our lives and that of those around us be in a productive part, all human beings are aware of Death but what disturbs us is that we do not know the day, the moment, or the time that it arrives, when we think at the time of death we become aware that at times our life expectations take a long time for which which generationally we are destined, it is that moment when we have to be discriminatory and strategic when selecting our priorities for the healthy and progressive development of our Bring life.
Conclusions
Each human being has a different perspective about the meaning of life and death. However, we agree that life represents our existence on this planet while our end death. We have freedom, law and power to make sense of our lives as well as death.
Death can be understood according to the sociocultural environment in which we develop. In some contexts some cry it while in others they celebrate it, not informing yourself about it can cause us pain later, almost uncontrollable discomfort. Psychotherapy is involved in this matter as the tool to inform us, prepare or raise awareness about death and its triggers. The process within psychotherapy to assume death is called duel, which is the stage or process in which we become aware about a certain loss. In the case of death, we can position him in different areas in death and we can classify the duel as the ability to face the loss of a loved one, a family member, to the knowledge of suffering a disease close to the purpose or theRisk of the end of our life. Through psychotherapy we manage to control, educate the patient in the face of the issue of death. Psychotherapy intervenes in the process as an accompaniment figure against this subject or problem, in order to redirect thoughts in order to generate a sense of well -being for overcoming and confrontation against what generates discomfort. Psychotherapy intervenes in the conception of the subject’s very life through the changes of ideation on death. The changes in interpretation and assessment are the first step for the transformation of life, and set a new horizon in the existence of man.
