Try not to take it too hard. Chances are she was on the verge and the travel put so much stress on her body, it couldn’t handle it. She didn’t do it to spite you, and your spouse will probably be grieving. I’m sorry about the costs, but try to look at the bigger picture. Feel good you tried to help your spouse in a tough time, and were caring enough to bend your routine to help your spouse. Be proud you had a kind enough heart to at least try to be accomodating. But most of all, take comfort you didn’t let someone die alone. Dying alone (or dying) can be a great fear to the elderly. As my dad ages, I see it in him as well. It might have been somewhat of a long overdue comfort for her when she passed to be with family. No one should die alone, and she did what millions in the pandemic could not do. She died in the comfort and presence of family and loved ones. Be greatful you could provide that, not angry or bitter. You afforded her her last luxury
Don't worry. It's hard to prove that your begrudging attitude is what killed her. You'll probably get away with it.
Look at it this way: for those ten minutes, her home was your hone
What an ingrate. Should have thought of someone else for once in her life.

I really love what you wrote here and could not agree more! OP sounds like a really good person and I'm glad mil was at least able to pass with her loved ones with her, and not alone.
