The quotation: ". . . [U]nconsciously we really think we are surviving our death in some form or other. In some form--that could also mean in the memory of our children and grandchildren, of our friends and relatives who continue to live and who remember us--rarely or often. Otherwise how could we, so to speak, live with those we live [leave?] behind?"
