Jeez, there's nothing but death and gloom and doom here recently...I love it 
The disdain in L2...not just saying 'godless', but introducing him as 'a'...not very Christian of you 
I enjoyed the descriptive S5, and wonder if the title implies that you won't see him in the afterlife 
because he was an unbeliever 
Anywho, I enjoyed the read.

Glad you enjoyed it, Colm. I wonder about a lot things. I think that's why I write. It helps.

Oh yeah! Writing is absolutely the best way focus my distracted mind.

As one of the godless i find this well written tosh of course. Faintly condescending. One of those optimists who would be happy not to find anything on the other side concentrating on the joys of here and now. Thanks for the prayer and the poem. Such a lot of variation here, love it.

Of Course on a personal Level - Person to Person in a Situation of death also touching.

On a personal level, I'll take touching. Thanks, Dave.

To my read this crosses the line from touching to heart wrenching. I assume the "godless" is a father or someone equally close to the N. I have sat at a bedside twice during the moments of actual death, described the breath (so closely aligned with spirit) as fish-out-out-of-water gasping. What a desperate, and in the case of my father, hopeless struggle. The pain of the N is clear.

to ease the passage of a godless. 

If you're right in your interp Linda I think this line lessens the 'feel'. 
A title change and just 'to ease his passage' would have created a deeper sense of loss.

I've been there once, it was a protracted death. He seemed to die (or so we thought) so many times...but he'd 
start to breath again, and on it went. 
I'd imagine grief is worse for someone with faith who's watching a faithless relation die...an extra sadness.

It's tough to watch someone die. But to watch someone die and be glad about it is tougher. My father was a shell when he died.
