You're right. She just couldn't take Communion. I didn't read carefully enough. I just hope there is enough magic around to console her family.

My memory of the wafer is of a paperthin, soluble, unleavened disk that I used to hold on my tongue for as long as possible, trying to make it last until the end of Mass. I wonder if that was a sin.
A very teeny piece of wet wafer placed on her tongue would probably not go down her windpipe. Still, if I remember correctly there were all sorts of rules around Eucharist. Like it HAD to be wheat and you couldn't let your teeth touch it, I'm not sure why. I think maybe your teeth would all fall out.
Catholic childhoods were so filled with terror.
