“Karter had been right about there only being a matter of hours. Raven had had to deal not only with grief but also with an unreasonable guilt that she hadn’t been in time. The demand of details saved her from giving in to the urge to sink into self-pity and self-rebuke. She wondered once, during those first crushing hours, if that was why people tied so many traditions and complications to death: to keep from falling into total despair. She was grateful that Karter handled the police himsel...f in a way that ensured the details would be kept out of the papers. After the first busy days there was nothing left but to accept that the woman she had loved and despised was gone. There was no more she could do. The disease had beaten them, just as surely as if it had been a cancer. Gradually she began to accept her mother’s death as the result of a long, debilitating illness. She didn’t cry, knowing she had already mourned, knowing it was time to put away the unhappiness.MoreLessRead More Read Less
