Should a dying person’s wish not to see a sibling be respected?

The scenario: Your sister is an elderly woman and are in a process of dying (agony already is on morphine) and you are at home. Your sister has a husband, grandkids and children (all grown up). For years you and your sister had had many family problems that were never resolved (jealousy, resentment, envy, etc) even now and many other relatives got involved in the process anf rot hose issues those two sisters never got to see each other anymore in person not even cross a word.

Note: You have 5 sisters more who in some way got invovled in the issues of your other 2 sisters because you are one family. Your dying sister when she was in the hospital and knowing she won't get out alive due to her illness but still were able to talk (now she can't talk as she is sedated) forgave the sister she had many issues in the past, but she told her kids, even if she forgave her, she won't want to see her anymore. Even a Priest agree when ny dying aunt spoke to a priest. The priest told her is ok she forgave her but if she did not want to see her sister anymore she has the right not to see her the Priest told her.

The sister who was forgiven but she won't be able to tell her good bye in person, wants to pay her a visit at her house for the last time, we dont know if it is to forgive her to treat her so bad for so many years and to crush one of her dreams or what (that is soemthing only they could know in private). But my dying aunt kids won't allow their aunt to see her, as their mom told her "I will forgive her but I dont want to see her", my cousins are respecting her mom last wishes. My cousins said "why my aunt now when theri mom can't speak, is when she want to visit her, why she did not do it when our mom could speak", that will stay in my aunt conscience, she could had done it when my mom was better not now. My cousins also for obvious reasons dont want to speak or see their aunt anymore.

How would you feel if you were the aunt who may want to forgive your sister for all the bad things you did to her but now you can't and will never be able to forgive her?
