I'm afraid the whether Tolstoy finally converted may be known only to God until the Resurrection. I recall havin read somewhere that after years of refusing to see any of the Optina Elders, while on his deathbed he called for one of them to come, but died before the elder arrived.
If anyone else has a better recollection of the events surrounding Tolstoy's death, please post it.

It seems to me, that this lady may be alive, but is not living. Have you thought about the ramifications of keeping her from her everlasting reward, as opposed to the hell on Earth she is now experiencing? If her husband is going to face a judgement for her early death, surely those responsible for keeping her from a transition to the afterlife, will also face a reckoning. In her position, I would choose to move on, as would most people. Keeping her alive, along with the emotional turmoil to those wishing for recovery, or praying for an end, serves no one. It is a battle I would not choose to enter.

Thank you Reader!
Can you only imagine the possibility of having an Optina Elder at your deathbed? Such luxury.
