i really don’t have the patience for plots that hinge entirely on awful communication. it’s the height of stupidity to tell her about that method (and also, how does the aunt know it works if the person can’t come back and can’t tell the family member about their death?) and it’s even more monumentally stupid for her to give up the entire rest of her life for the chance of a couple of meetings with her father that won’t save him in the end. the whole thing just reeks of a poorly contrived plot device tbh
