I will consider the particular problem that the fact of death poses  for meaning in human life.  Specifically, it is our death that both  makes the meaningfulness of life an issue (and hence is the condition  of the possibility of meaning) and rules out any ultimate resolution  of meaning (and hence is the condition of the impossibility of  meaning).
