English term or phrase: Fear of death and the desire to live on, somehow, if only through out children.
It’s just I had a feeling, when I read that passage, that it was the one moment when Soiree let his guard down. Fear of death and the desire to live on, somehow, if only through out children. Or our grandchildren.

How to translate this sentence logically?
