ISB ~ Mark 5 v39

not dead but sleeping:Biblical writers often speak of “sleep” as a euphemism for biological death (Mt 27:52; Jn 11:11; 1 Cor 15:6). Jesus uses this description to emphasize that the girl’s condition is only temporary and reversible.

•Morally (St. Bede, In Marcum): the girl signifies the young Christian whose heart remains deadened by the world. Christ must clear away the crowds of impure thoughts to revive and strengthen the believer to begin walking in good deeds. Spiritual nourishment for this new life is given through the Eucharist.
