Erikson maintained that, in later years, we experience a sense of integrity if we believe we have lived meaningful lives. This sense of integrity gives us a feeling of completeness so that we can better accept our approaching deaths. But if we have unresolved regrets about the past – if we think that we made poor choices or failed to accomplish important goals – we feel depressed and hopeless, which leads us to despair.
