Cliff:
Then the spirt is often referred to being the will to live.  

IMO, the Horcrux is a place to keep part of the soul when the body is
gone. TMR puts his soul into the many places and uses one when the AK
backfired on him in trying to kill HP. Thus his soul and spirit remain
outside the Veil, but he appears weak and needs help with unicorn
blood and Quirrell's head. But that existence also takes its toll in
the possible merging of Horcruxes. However, and this is the reason TMR
sought information on Horcruxes, when a body is totally rebuilt in
GoF, then the use of the Horcruxes are lost as body, soul and spirit
are now combined into a whole. He is again mortal and can be kill like
anyone else. He jeopardized his own life by living. Don't we all?

Cliff, sticking his broken nose where it don't belong.
