In this study, I explored the life of my father who was recovering after brain tumor surgery. I assessed into the relationship my father and me I and my father through inter-family art therapy and tried to explore the meaning of arttherapy in accepting my father s limited remaining life. The research period was 16 sessions of art therapy, and sessions ranged between 60 and 90 minutes per session once a week. I conducted narrative research observe existential and qualitative changes by watching my father s experience “as is”. As a result, my father s experience in art therapy revealed four main themes: “I have only one name,” “I have a house to return to,” “death is everywhere,” and “become a free sea gull”. In addition, My father recalled his life through art therapy, and he had a new experience by getting in touch with pleasure and his childhood; and he accepted death as the end of his own life. I found that death anxiety was my primary emotion. Death anxiety was therefore explored via existential meaning, and through a finite life, death has found meaning: it is a resource to regain each person s core originality.
