What constitutes death?

Most people don't consider Living a miracle unless you do it after you've been dead for a few days.
Just nicked this after reading it on another journal. I wonder if it means literally what it says, in the Christian theology way. It's only a miracle if you do what Jesus did.
I dunno. There are many ways to be dead I think. Look at someone who has been unable to love for years, and they suddenly meet someone who lets them feel it again. Thats a rebirth, of sorts. Or maybe someone has been carrying around a lot of hate, or anger, or confusion, or pain - and then something happens so they can let it go. Maybe they will always have been living - but now they'll be living without burden. And thats got to be better, right?
I may be wrong. Part of me likes burdens. If everything was easy, life would be boring as all hell. Got to feel pain to appreciate the good stuff, right?
