Life Completion

Life Completion is a theoretical construct within the field of psychosocial interventions that denotes the subjective sense of having achieved coherence, meaning, and closure in one’s life narrative through structured reflection, distinguishing it from related concepts by its specific focus on existential affirmation and legacy formation in end-of-life care contexts.
