I still believe that a human being does not die all at once, but rather dies in a piecemeal fashion, every time he leaves behind a part of himself

I still believe that a human does not die all at once, but rather dies in parts, every time we lose a loved one a part dies, and every time a dream from our dreams is killed a part dies, until the greater death comes to find all the parts dead, so it carries them and departs.
