when the preist said something about how she wasn't suffering and was at peace
That is such an overused phrase! So cliche!

Why couldn't he say that her life had been blessed by having you in her life?? That her suffering had been made easy to bare because of the love and care you gave her?? And I'm not stretching
my imagination here, much less had an opportunity to talk to you about her so that I could celebrate her life rather than make her out a pitifully sick child.
My heart goes out to you, Dear Wise Lady. Do as someone suggested here and think of all the good and happy times you shared with her. As you suggested to me, write it all down and if you want, share it with us. We're here for you. You've given me so much help, I'd like to try and return the kindness.
