In the experience of dying, the patient experiences some situations that are determined by the suffering produced by the disease and the proximity of the end of his life. Particularly, the links with other one transform in reason of the difficulty of accepting the condition of mortally that imposes the advanced disease on him. The lie, the conspiracy of the silence, the aggressiveness, are between others, the expressions of a process that demands a great quota of suffering from the psychism of the patient. As product of a qualitative investigation with patients at the end of the life and the reading of literary texts of support, some reflections offer in the present article in order to illustrate, in something, the phenomenology, of the experience of dying.
