Maybe you can understand why, for you to be a Student of Life, you will not complete that lesson until you master being a Student of Death as well.
At the same time, there can be such a finality to both.
When we're living, it is so impossible to see or know what death may hold for us.
When death occurs, there is no more communication with the living. For all intents and purpose, the c/h/ord has been severed.

Life and death may be seamless, but the communication between the two, the way things EXIST from one to another...are utterly different. So different we cannot find an accurate medium between the two to reconcile their differences.

What happens when we do?
