I saw a whole bunch of robins last weekend. I would feel very disturbed if the first one I saw was dead!
Whenever the death card comes up during tarot readings, it doesn't necessairly mean an actual death. It could mean the end of one period of your life and the beginning of another - which is completely parallel to your circumstances at the moment.
With every death a body returns to the earth, there is a new birth and a new beginning.
*nods vigourously at the parallels between death and rebirth*

Wow, that's beautiful. I've never seen that tarot deck.
My mother has a french one which I learned on. Death will always be "La Mort" for me. I use the Rider tarot deck, but I see my mother's cards when I use it. I actually haven't touched it in years. The last reading I did predicted continuing strife when I really needed to see that things would get better soon.
I was really bothered by that reading. But it was accurate.
I've decided that if a rough spot is coming up, I don't want to know about it.

Here's an interesting article discussing the symbolism of a dead robin.
