What does "Death always brings one suddenly face to face with life" from death be not proud mean?

Question

it's from a word from frances

Answer 1

Randomly, it might, but not all across the board.

Answer 2

Well, I've never read the book, but out-of-context, it seems to mean that when a man faces death, he also has to face and examine his life, and determine whether or not he made the most of his time or whether he made a lot of mistakes along the way.
