So Zen means not how to avoid life and death, but how to be ready now for both.

Suffering can never be a teacher. It only perpetuates ignorance. Thus, one's needs to be awakened by a teacher which is knowledge of one's nature in order to be free from suffering due to ignorance. One can suffer forever without knowing because suffering can never be a teacher. In fact, there are people who are obsessed with suffering and considered it as their reality.

I don't know if you've found your answer to this question yet, but my advice is to help when you help and let things be when you let them be. these questions do not change your actions, have faith in yourself.
