Learning to understand and forgive Jenna
I agreed to adopt Emily to ensure that she would have a stable and loving home after Jenna’s death. Jenna’s condition worsened. “I know you’ll take good care of her,” Jenna said in a weak voice, but full of confidence. “It’s in good hands.” I was determined to give Emily the love and security she deserved, even though the responsibility was daunting. It brought Jenna peace in the last few days.

A final moment of closure
On one of Jenna’s last clear days, I held her in my arms as she comforted me. Before she died, we had a brief moment of closure and peace. “Thank you so much for everything,” she whispered with a faint but full gratitude. “I love you.” Tears ran down my face as I took her in my arms. “I love you too, Jenna,” I replied, my heart breaking. In that moment, all the lamentations disappeared, leaving only love and understanding. As Jenna breathed her last breath, I knew she was finally at peace.
