Ideas for replacing the terms birth, death and life of a star:
"Lifecycle" doesn't hold as much of a connotation of a living organism as "life". Birth can be called activation. (The growth or formation of a star and planet is an ongoing process of transformation and evolution, not just its "birth"). For death, the activity of a star or planet is extinguished, an extinction. Remains are "reborn" or reactivated / reformed into new stars.
( Not that the poetic language of life, birth, death etc. necessarily needs to be replaced.)
In this lecture,Dr. Michael Shilo Delay asked for suggestions to replace the terms life, death, birth, etc for stars and planets. I believe Jeffrey Wolynski has mentioned this before in videos too.

and for good measure, here is Daniel Archer's paper "Stellar Metamorphosis Obeys the Natural Law of Birth, Growth, Degradation and Rebirth, or a New Law!":
