I loved this song back in the day. When I listened to it then, I thought this was strictly about missing someone who is already dead.
But as I am older listening to it, I think the second verse is a reminiscent verse of when her loved one was sick. It seems that they were in a coma or some other debilitating state. She was probably at his/her side until the very end. Hoping, praying and remaining strong for a recovery.
The first and third verses seem like the feelings she had when they finally passed on.
