It just takes time

In his famous work Being and Time Heidegger defines death through the possibility of existence (Dasein) and states that death is always one's own. In this paper Heidegger's understanding of death will be challenged by placing death in a relation with the notion of love. The notion of love will be exposed as a modern notion that can be briefly defined as an affirmation of one person (myself) in the another (loved one) (Hegel). By examination of love and death in their obvious crossroad - in a case of a death of a loved person the obvious question will be raised: does a death of a loved person really mean his death or rather my own? Having in mind that by a death of a loved person I also die (as a one that has existed in him), and, on the other hand, the one that has died arises in me and his existence even exceeds my own (this is usually revealed through suffering and missing), seems that Heidegger was right after all. But, in order to finally affirm or decline this position the notions of death and love and therefore the possibility of existence at all will be, in conclusion, examined in their most important dimension - dimension of time.
