The theme of acceptance is also prevalent. As the girl faces her mortality, she has to come to terms with it. In many fanfictions, this journey of acceptance is explored deeply. Also, the theme of love is there. It could be the love of family, the love of a new friend made in the hospital, or even a romantic love that blossoms in the most unexpected of circumstances. For example, in some stories, a young doctor might fall in love with the dying girl and tries to make her last days special. This love often adds an extra layer of emotion to the story.
One popular 'dying girl hospital fanfiction' might be 'The Last Days in the Hospital'. It focuses on the emotional journey of a dying girl, her relationships with the hospital staff and other patients, and how she copes with her impending death.

Maybe it shows that in the face of death, there are still forces at work, like the buzzard which is associated with death in some cultures. It might also imply that death is a natural part of existence and that other elements in nature are just doing what is natural to them.
