'DEAD' IS A TRANSITION OF MATTER AND SOUL, as there is no creation or destruction of energy, both become recycled, returned to whence they came.
'Dead' is where the stops return to the world of matter and the soul-ether reclaims what matters. And so it is but a pause in the cycle of rebirth. To temporary problems, permanent solutions are inappropriate, she would always suggest you chose "alive" over "dead."
Death is permeant, unless you find a loop hole.
