I think it's about passing things on to the next generation. Our children and Grand children are our reborn selves, hence all of the alluding that the two women are the same person. Everybody plays a role in the ritual of passing on what the old lady has to the young one, just as society and family play that role as well. As a child all of these things occur without us realizing it, so naturally that young girl is gonna be extremely confused and even scared looking out at the world. The old lady is calm and collected because she realizes this is a part of life, but likely is just as about as confused as the young one is, just comfortable with it. Even with all the knowledge and spirit of the old lady, after she dies the child is still afraid and confused, yet is expected to head the group they are a part of which likely represents family. As a Matriarch dies another has to take over, people have to look for someone for comfort, but the reality is leaders never truly understand more then others, they are just as confused, but get less afraid of the unknown as time goes on. Ultimately it represents how each passing generation must deal with the fear of what they don't know, because even with the knowledge of a lifetime, there will still be things in the world you will never understand.
