 maybe i should see it again too, but i'll write a few lines about sister úna, and you can chime in if you've seen the film, on independent lens. there was a scene where she talks about her brother but she doesn't say my brother just his name, patrick i think, and alludes to something bad between them and says he won't be invited to her death. later he appears and he's devastated, he was mortified by her leaving without reconciliation. maybe that would have been impossible, but i felt like she carried that crux all the way into her death. she talked in a glowing way about her soul journey, but she was attached to life, and that crux was left in suspension. it was her life and her death but as a witness i wish she had revealed what the crucial trouble was and at least tried to let the light in and heal it. and i wish she wasn't so addicted to the camel cigarettes that gave her cancer. i thought about this more when my sister said she didn't remember the brother.
