When the love of your life dies, the problem is not that some part of you dies too, which it does, but that some part of you is still alive.

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone you deeply love passes away, it is not only a part of you that dies with them, but also a part of you continues to exist. It implies that even though you may feel as if a significant portion of yourself has died, there is still a sense of lingering life within you. This could reference the complex emotions experienced during the grieving process, where one is caught between mourning the loss and trying to move forward with their own existence.
