Marguerite’s heaven was celebrating marriages. What was her lesson and what did Eddie learn from it?

Eddie comes to realize that Marguerite knew how much Eddie loved her despite his own lapses in judgement, which will help him come to terms with his own loneliness after her death. At this point in the novel, Eddie has been able to shed a lot of the anger and resentment that built up over his 83 years on earth, but he still struggles to accept that he wasted so much of his life at Ruby Pier. He also regrets choosing to live his life hiding from God. However, before she leaves, Ruby informs him, "Your father is not the reason you never left the pier" (142). T

thanks.
