All that is born is book-ended by its corresponding death. All growth finds its fertile soil in the demise and decay of what has come before. A death is as much a beginning as a birth, though the tendency to cling to the past can obscure the benefits of such transitions.

Grieve for what has gone, but do not dwell too long in that house of sorrow, for you shall lose out on all the new wonders that await your return to the living.
