We die as often as we lose a friend.

Summary

This quote implies that the loss of a friend is akin to experiencing death in some respect. It suggests that when we lose a friend, a part of us metaphorically dies.

It signifies the end of a significant connection, which can lead to a sense of loss and pain, much like the feelings associated with death.
