I feel that if I was to succumb and become defeated then I will not make an impact when I live but, I f I do something that impacts every one I feel like I can make a difference

If I were to use the word "succumb" in this quote would you touch me like father used to? Miss Jackie J believes she has done something that the world will remember her by. If this is true, then when Jackie succumbs to the Grim Reaper, she will leave something behind that will help the future generations.
She feels like once she succumbs to death, she will die happy knowing she did something that will help those who continue to live afterwards. It would be nice to die knowing you accompished something that can affect the world in a positive way after you're dead. I'd settle just to know my family and loved ones were safe when I died.
in other words, once i leave this land land, i will succumb to an afterlife of eternal happiness.
i think this means that by succumbing away from this earth you'll be leaving to a better place. i know that while i'm here i have to try to do what i can. this will be to help otehrs to leave this place a better place than it is.
that when she leaves this she has donw something. it might not have been succumb but she has done something else.
ITS NOT ABOUT THE TIME WE PUT FORTH INTO THS WORLD IT IS THE VALUE IN WHICH WE USE IT...YA DIG...SHE IN OTHER WORDS HAS NOT SUCCUMB TO WHATEVER SHE FOUGHT AGAINST. SHE DIED KNOWING SHE DID SOMETHING TO BETTER THE WORLD. TAHT IS WHAT WE ARE ALL HERE FOR ITS JUST TO COMPLICATED FOR MOST PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND...YA DIG...
PEACE.
