...for who else calls us back from every one of death's delusions, if not the life that *doesn't know how to die*...

How odd to include "doesn't know" there. The life that doesn't die, sure, but doesn't *know how* to die? Or maybe the life that doesn't know death. But the incapacity of not knowing how seems odd. Zombie-like, too.

"I dreaded death: I didn't want the one I had loved so much to die in his entirety when I died."

Apart from the implication that he got over this and people stopped dying, I really like this.
