You may remember that on earth–though of course we never confessed it–the death of anyone we knew, even those we liked best, was always mingled with a certain satisfaction at being finally done with them.

George Bernard Shaw
About This Quote

Although it may be true that people want to be done with their loved ones, it is also true that we never admitted this to ourselves. Death is an inevitable part of life, but it's not the only part of life. We don't want to die so much as change our lives and grow as individuals. Death itself is an inevitable part of life, but the act of dying is not what comes first.
