Quote #10
Death seemed colder than ever before, Sabriel thought, and wondered why, till she realized she was still lying down. […]
"Everyone and everything has a time to die…" she whispered. The living world and its cares seemed far away.
[…]
Something grabbed her arms and legs, picked her up out of the water and set her down on her feet. "This is not your time," said a voice, a voice echoed by half a hundred others. (E.1-4)
In the epilogue, Sabriel echoes her father's words and the core beliefs of the Abhorsen, showing that she's come to accept this belief, and is freely accepting her own death. Even so, it's not Sabriel's time to die, and the spirits of former Abhorsen bring her back to life so that she can continue as Abhorsen herself.
