 note = {The aim of this article is to create a text to address certain inadequacies in the recently developed spiritual care aspect of palliative care. The focus is not on supporting patients to live with hope in their lives until death despite the importance of this attitude. My purpose is rather to reveal another hope ? that for eternal life ? through the philosophy of Gabriel Marcel. For that purpose, firstly, I tried to grasp a typical contemporary Japanese view of death, the idea that we may merge into the cosmos after death. I show that this view is one born from a compromise between materialism, which implies the disappearance of our individuality and the spirit after death and animism which includes the concept that our spirits will exist in the cosmic sphere. Marcel argues against materialism, asserting conscience can't be pinpointed as a visible object body. 
He asserts all objective thinking, despite its indispensability, leads to the representation of the disappearance of conscience after our death. Such thinking represents time as calendar time leading, finally, to a time of destruction. The hunger for life corresponds to a resistance against death as absolute meaningless annihilation. 
According to Marcel, it is in the exigence of being, profound experiences, memory and intersubjective love where we catch a glimpse of eternity in this world. These phenomena could be interpreted, despite their different stages, as our participation in the symphonic unity of full being, in communion with other beings, where our subject body subsists after death as an irreplaceable member.},
