Default The Sum of life

Maybe it depends on what we mean by "soul".

Maybe Your grandfathers "soul" is in his children and grandchildren and in all his future descendance. His "soul" is in the people he has influenced in his life, the words he spoke and the way he lived his life. His "soul" is in the hard work he put in and the things he created.

He is ill now, but that does not define his "soul". He may have lost his mind, but he has not lost his "soul"

If you believe in an afterlife(I don't but thats doesnt matter), then his afterlife "soul" will be the sum of his entire life not just his last few moments.
