“She was tiny, clenched, and unresponsive. With a bald head atop a braided body of pale skin, she appeared a flower bulb plucked too soon from the earth and left out to wither and dry.” Love this so much Trilety ❤️

As a classicist I chuckled at “the furious cave

guarded over by Edith Hamilton and her three-headed dog.”

I think you’re right that seeing a loved one die might negatively color your memory of them, especially depending on their condition and the manner of death. It’s not an experience I’ve had but I think I wish I had if only to provide some company and comfort on their way out as difficult as it might be.
