It provides an opportunity to gain existential meaning and overcome the fear of cessation of personal being. Life course is understood in general scientific context as the concept describing the progress of individual human development form birth to senility. The role of several mediators of personal life experience formation – word, myth and fairy tale, symbol, meaning, the other person – is investigated.
