Description
She hopes that if she could only explain how precious life is, the Reaper will not take her soul, and she can return to the land of the living.Terry Pratchett's character Death comes to mind
The Reaper features in folklore of many cultures, no doubt because of death's inevitability.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest:
The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home
,Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
By Alexander Pope (An Essay on Man.)
But also it is a bit of a family phrase...no matter how crappy things get, we still hope for better times. The woman here knows her time has come, but hopes to persuade the reaper to leave her be by explaining how precious all life is.
