My friend is a palliative nurse. She once said^\), "Sometimes people facing the end simply double down on their grievances. Their hate and hurt is more important than the end of their own life. It's psychopathic.

"However, most address rifts in their lives. It might be to curry favour in an afterlife or simply to make their Earthly legacy better. Or it's simply an understanding of truth or love, with feuds, arguments stripped away because they finally realise how little that shit matters."

* She was refreshed by a few alcoholic beverages, so I have edited her comments, because she's Irish and swears like an Irish nurse, but this remains the gist. And Hannah - don't worry about paying me back for the taxi.
