It’s the central theme of the story. Children, marriage, life brings both joy and grief; can you still embrace it, knowing the grief that will come? I can’t find the article, but there was a HN post sometime ago that was a beautifully written memorial to the death of a pet dog. Why do we invest in loving pets that we know we will outlive? Particularly as adults, when we know the end from the beginning. Does the whole become worthless because the end is pain? No! Embrace life - the joy and the grief.
