It occurs to that Erik Erickson psychosocial atages of development does not really ends with integrity vs despair, but goes further than that to Spirituallity vs uncertainty. Every one either religious or not at this stage strugle with the meaning of life after and those who have attained spiritual transcendences, have the confidence, certainty and peace with themself and the world. Such individual look forward to the state of completeness and bliss. Those that failed to achieve spirituallity are gripped with fear of end of life and the uncertainty it portend to them. Spirituallity here does not mean religiousity, but inner being and motivation that propel individuals to overcome the limitation of time, space and materialism.

I think that his less-structured ideas in "A Way of Looking at Things" might shed a bit more light on his thought as a way to solidify this material.
