Either card can simply be the end of the situation as it now is.
Change it or lose/end it, sort of thing. IMNVHO

There are many many pieces of literature and stories concerning that transformation ...ER rooms ,cardiologists and surgeons are privy to many...
Sorry but I absolutely do not buy into universal laws.
Except gravity, and that only up to a point !
There is only one card mentioned...Death...
I agree with your Letting Go... but even that is not final...
What is being let go of...
The love , the angst, the situation, the relationship built around controlling,a boss,a slave...?
For me, every change requires that a little death takes place.
That' s a view that I share entirely-as tarotbear would say, fatalistic maybe, but realistic.
The Buddha says that all our suffering is due to attachment...whether it is to a material object, money, a relationship, this lifetime...... We don't know what comes after death. All that we imagine about that can only be a projection of our wishes or fears.....including fatalism.
What do we learn from our knowledge of death? We learn that it is inevitable and that nothing we do will change it. We also learn that we don't know and "cannot" know what follows death. Trying to read a "new life" into it is a projection of our desire for more....a denial of death and a wish for an alternative.....such as transformation.
One of my very few certainties concerning tarot to this day has been that, no matter whether it can or can’t foretell the future, whenever Death or the World come up, eg in a relationship reading, it signals the unnegotiable, final word on that question, and from there, there is no going backwards-nor forward.
I am wondering if anybody has experienced anything that can contradict this theory and prove it wrong…for instance, a relationship where Death (or the World ) had come up in the outcome or future position, that has been resurrected….
Very cruel, if you consider that it seems to be part of human nature to form attachments-whether to people, places, or things....
