Finality of death...

My sister sent me a piece I wrote in 2007 reflecting on the death of my mother's husband. I started thinking about relationships from the past, the finality of death, and how once death comes, we can 't go back and "fix" those relationships. I'm reading - Death's Door - written by the literary critic Sandra Gilbert. One of the things she suggests about acknowledging the irreversibility of death is that we move away from the dreamlike past of thinking we might change the ending. Acknowledging the finality of the death is necessary before we can move forward with living.
