Abstract: Facing the truth of death in silence instead of fearing and denying it enables people to regain their freedom. This qualitative case study aimed to illuminate the meaning of a single person's experience of confronting death and living with cancer. The transcripts of unstructured interviews were analyzed using the hermeneutic phenomenological method. Data analysis led to extraction of four themes including "Confronting death, meeting nonbeing and longing for being", "Embracing existential loneliness, responsibility and freedom", "Taking over the mind, living mindfully, a meaningful life", and "Flourishing authentic self-love, moving in the path of caring and healing the self".
