@deepmud coming to terms with the finiteness of existence. letting go of the struggle. that's usually something people end up facing in hospice. we don't call it ego *death* without reason.

the problem is that life is struggle. you can learn to understand how nothing really ever ends, and yet that can translate poorly to coming down and having to actually live it.

@lritter ok, I understand, but there are many, many struggles on the way to the last struggle. People get depressed and often frozen by all these struggles. Caregivers live hard lives, often, with lots of these kind of things happening.

Hallucinogens are useful all along the way.
