The last chapter of Emilia's, I believe, Emilia is safe in her home and surrounded by family and friends. I think this is either a sign that she has died and this is her version of Heaven, or she is dying and this is a hallucination experienced by her as she is dying.
Carrie
Emilia dies, as her body is found by the couple who lives by the sinking site. I think the chapter where Emilia is surrounded by her loved ones represents heaven, she's with her mother, her daughter and her friends and she's making jam.
Isabelle
I think Emillia's last chapter is a sign that showed Emilia had died and now she is with her friends, family, and daughter in Heaven or her version of Heaven. Emilia was happy because she had finally escaped the tragedy's of war and was now in a place surrounded with everyone she loves.
