Many internet sources claim it says: “Death ends a life, but it does not end a relationship, which struggles on in the Survivor’s mind toward some resolution which it may never find.”
BUT if you read this article, "FACT-CHECKING AND THE FIVE STAGES OF JOURNALISTIC GRIEF
By Jack Limpert and posted DECEMBER 2, 2013, you will see the actual line is this:
‘Death ends a life. But it does not end a relationship.'
The sentence is a line at start of the play, “I Never Sang for My Father" by by Robert Anderson.
Moral: Always look for the primary source before quoting it.
