I understand that it is God’s will, but I am tormented by the feeling that I did not do everything and could have saved. How to reconcile? I pray, order liturgies, donate, but my heart hurts. I will punish myself for not inviting the priest before my death. She died suddenly after a month of illness: the doctors sent her home to wait for a diagnosis, but she suddenly became ill, and she passed away before my eyes. Before her death, she repented, asked God for forgiveness, changed, and did not allow herself to ask to be left in the hospital, so as not to take up space. Will the Lord accept this as a confession? After all, He sees the heart. Is there hope for salvation and the Kingdom of Heaven?
