1989 (#29) - The worsening of the disease and the death of Jessica

Jessica is grateful to John for allowing her to rediscover love over the past year and sacrificing herself to let her return to Jim and reunite her family. With him and all his family reunited, and therefore Jim, Christine and Scott, Jessica lives moments of serenity and happiness, knowing that her life is coming to an end. Jessica's illness worsens rapidly, and when the doctors inform her that she only has a few weeks to live, she informs all her relatives and friends of the situation. John and Christine, strongly shaken by the news, try to console her by committing themselves to make her live as peacefully as possible these last few days; but perhaps the person most grieved is Jim, who hoped more than anyone else for a recovery of the woman. Unfortunately, however, Jessica's health conditions are now compromised, and when she realizes that she has come to the end, unable to find the strength even to speak, she decides to write a letter asking to let her die in a dignified way and thanking everyone for allowing her to live this last year as if it were a dream, despite the little time she was given. Jessica, after very long and endless days of suffering, dies peacefully in the pain of all those who loved her. Jim is grieved that he did not have more time to get to know the woman, even though he still thanks God for this short experience. At the woman's funeral, the union between Scott, Christine and Jim is stronger than ever, you agree that Jessica was able to perform a real miracle by bringing them together like never before. Of all of them, it is Christine, the youngest but also the closest to Jessica, who is suffering the most and living a very difficult period of pain and discomfort. But also thanks to Danny, who never fails to be close to her, the woman soon manages to metabolize the grief and take over her life.
