Emma and her Auntie Sue have always been good friends, but now Auntie Sue is dying of cancer. Auntie Sue's chemotherapy works for a while, but soon she relapses. Emma finally acknowledges that Auntie Sue is going to die, and talks to Auntie Sue about her death, and her anger at God and everything that has made Auntie Sue sick. She also tells her she loves her. Auntie Sue's family is all around her when she dies at home. Emma works through her grief and memorialises Auntie Sue in the quilt she and Auntie Sue were making together. A solid Christian introduction to bereavement.
