Death and birth describe the same thing. That event you’re describing was either the start of something or the end of something. The only difference is perspective. The only difference is how you view it.
Your choice of description, death or birth, depends on how you see the event. If you see a good thing ending you see it die. If you see a good thing starting, you see it born. Death is not inherently evil, nor is birth inherently good. Both can be traumatic events or joyous. It simply depends on what that event is.
All events are both. Choose the perspective that helps you the most. Death or birth? Birth or death?
