It was the one gift she had in her hands.

She was giving it gladly, proudly.

So far as she was concerned, it would have been kinder to let her make an end of it.

But during the last few days I have come to the conclusion there is a law within us that we may not argue with.
She is coming back to life, knowing you no longer want her, that she is only in the way.

Perhaps you may be able to think of something to say or do that will lessen her martyrdom.
