skulking around despite our surroundings

My comment:

I like "skulking" because it means what Death does and it is known for:

2. be present in a latent or barely discernible state.

My references:

From a speech by The Rev. Dr. Francis H. Wade

"Sister Death is the rudest of God’s creatures, skulking around the edges of life’s joys and labors, crashing in at the most inopportune times, ruining everything and leaving the debris of grief in its wake."
