unforgiveness to the death

The hospice nurse said
family members
formerly hostile
to their dying relation
(mother, father, wife, husband,
son, daughter, uncle, aunt, whoever)
remain hostile to them
through their dying
and through their death.

No forgiveness.

The hostility
has become
a way of life
and does not give
way to death.

Even Christians do this.
