The psychoanalytical orientation listening to the one who reports a suicide attempt and refers it to a love relationship breaking up, allows a reflection of a metapsychological nature which supports that the rupture of a love bond is refused at such a level that the suicide precipitation has its inspirations in order to keep something that cannot be lost. Having melancholy as a paradigm to the suicide, it points to a refusal based on the maintenance of love. Freud's assertive that the ego consents with its own death when identified to the object is liable of articulation with Lacan’s propositions about the object of love and to which transcends its own attributes. It will be stressed as object "a" the one which is underneath the loving involucre and how it profiles in an effulgent way to the suicide attempt
