** The episode "Death Takes a Halliwell" revolved around Prue having to accept that death is not an enemy to be fought against.
** The episode "Styx Feet Under" had the sisters cast a spell to prevent an old man from being killed by his nephew which ended up preventing others from dying. Piper was turned into the Angel of Death briefly and Phoebe was marked to die, but they were able to change the circumstances so she was allowed to live.
** Leo was written out of the series on the basis that there was a battle to be fought with the Ultimate Power and Leo was destined to die in the crossfire. The Angel of Destiny froze him in time until the battle was over. He was released once Phoebe, Paige and Christy died at the end of "Kill Billie: Vol. 2" but taken away once they changed the past. He was brought back once Christy, Dumain and the Triad were killed.

* In ''Series/PushingDaisies'', Ned's ability to revive the dead has a one-minute grace period; after that, another life of approximately equal value (a human being's life for another human's, an animal's for an animal's, a plant's for a plant's) is taken in exchange. Unlike most other examples of the trope, the choice ''isn't'' Ned's, he can't influence it, and the only rule the exchange seems to obey is that the sacrifice must be physically nearby.

'''Emerson''': Bitch, ''I'' was in proximity!
** Also unlike other examples of the trope, Ned still can't touch the re-animated even after the one-minute period. If he does, they return to being dead, and this time he is permanently unable to bring them back.

* ''Fanfic/MiraculousLadybugSaltShots'': When Adrien [[FaceHeelTurn helps his father]] get his hands on the Miraculouses he needs to MakeAWish during ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44607043/chapters/121613383 A Price to Pay]]'', Marinette warns them that bringing Emilie back in this fashion will require they sacrifice somebody else's life.

* Christ's death evokes this, with an innocent man having to die to pay the wages of sin, and saving sinful men from their fate. That said, Christianity usually subverts this and treats God as even more powerful than Death, what with Christ's resurrection and the eventual general resurrection. Christ was even freely able to revive people temporarily, such as Lazarus.
