Summary-
As Cecily gets worse over the days, she is no longer able to breath without a ventalizor, which helps her breath oxygen equally. During those days they took an x-ray of her lungs, finding out that the cancer has not only spread through the lungs but then the cancer cells also got into her blood stream which will take over her whole body. The doctors estimated that she wouldnt live longer than two weeks, maybe even a couple of days. It all depended on how fast the cells grow. Mark couldn believe this, he wanted to so badly save her life that he ilegally made some tea that would help boost her immune system into her tube. But that didn't help, as the most tragic thing happened all through Jim Beaver's life. Cecily died on March 3 at 8:o5 a.m. Her husband was right there by her side seeing her died was the worse thing that every happened, saying that she peacefully died. A month goes on and Jim is still mourning over his wife, but begins to get rid of her things one thing at a time. After all that was done he wants to get a permit to throw Cecily's ashes in The "Red wood national forest".
Quote-
"It was only with the darkening that I could see how much light had once been there." (Beaver 148)
Reaction-
I think this quote is trying to tell us the readers, that when there is something that is bad happening to one of us or our family memebers, we don't see the light in anything but we see only the bad. The same with Beaver, and his wife. During the time he actually saw her die she looked like there was no light in her eyes, but when he reflected on it during the day , he actually realized that her eyes actually had light to them till they died. Also during her days of dieing he still described cancer as an elephant.
