I think death can be a powerful metaphor for transition. When one becomes a saddhu(Hindu ascetic), one of the first things they do is attend their own funeral ceremony, in order to mark the passing of their former life, and the beginning of their new life of pursuing moksha(liberation).

I understand about death being a metaphor. About change and such, but you also mentioned beginning their new life, so they aren't really living as if they are dead, they are living as if their old life is dead.
