In Kenneth's workshop on Death & Dying during a question and answer period, a lady commented that she was worried about the day that Kenneth would one day die, and I suspect that she was expressing a fear many of us felt.
Kenneth's lovely response was to remind her that he had simply become a symbol of Love to her and that one-day when he exits this world, another symbol of love will take his place. Kenneth Wapnick Memorial Tributes

What prepares us for physical death is the daily practice of right-mindedly choosing the Holy Spirit ’s forgiveness as our life’s meaning, rather than the ego’s judgments and attacks. In this way, physical death becomes a joyous end to a classroom of learning, not a punishment for sin. On Death and Dying: Ending, Continuing, or Awakening?

Every good teacher hopes to give his students so much of his own
learning that they will one day no longer need him.
This is the one true goal of the teacher. (T-4.I.5:1-2)
