[Contemplating one's own death to prevent suicidal acts].
In the framework of a helping relationship with a person in suicidal crisis, contemplating one's own death can help to prevent suicidal act. Due to the psychological experiences at work, it is important for the caregiver to have thought about and accepted their own existential finiteness, a process which enables them to provide better support for the person in severe distress.
