Anyone angered by Rose not staying at Charlies bedside when he died?


Robin Williams character said the only thing he wanted was not to be alone when he died...yet when she walked into his room and told "Charlie" it's ok...etc... he was still alive. She then just walked out to go be with her mom and he died alone after all. They should have let her stay in the room with him until he drew his last breath...then let her leave. Anyone feel the say way?

I was under the impression that he died when she was still there. It doesn't show her walking out of the room right away.

I hope so:)

Charlie was a priest who had had a crisis of faith. He tells Rose he had been lying there and her statement of love for a stranger restored his faith in God. I think he was referring to his loss of faith when he spoke of his fear of dying "alone". That is why they showed her placing the cross in his hand. Whether he died with her there doesn't matter. He didn't die alone.
