The, end

What is the end?
We growing learning that energy never goes anywhere, so how can we say that other things end? Isn't everything in our lives just a mix of energy? If that's true then nothing can end.
In my opinion there is no such thing as 'the end'. It's simply a phrase we use when we are done telling part of the story, but everything goes on, even once it's said to have ended. I don't mean it continously go on physically, or whatever the case may be. What I mean, and I'm sorry this is a sorta morbid example, is this: Mary dies. She never married, had no children, and mostly kept to herself. So this would be the end of Mary, right? Not necessarily. For her tombstone (or urn) will continue, and so will she, her memory lives on in her family (aunts, uncles, ect.) and in her neighbors, and even the few friends she's had over the years.
How is it possible for us to come to an end when we are basically a bunch of calories, which is energy? It's scientifically not.
I don't believe in things ending, the simply stop, but they do no simply cease to exist.
