Mercedes just shook her head sadly. "No... no, we couldn't have, Puck. Short of literally watching him twenty-four-seven, he didn't wanna go on without Kurt. Did he try, God bless his beautiful soul. He tried so hard to keep going because he knew Kurt would have wanted that, but he couldn't do it. Blaine was always the sorta guy destined to fall in love just once in his life, and so was Kurt. They got it so damn right the first time that nothing was ever gonna sway it. They could take on the world with each other. Sure, they had bumps along the way when they were finding their feet with dating and being gay, but what couple doesn't have that? Do you... I just... you know Kurt here. Is it gonna do him any good to know, or is it gonna make it all worse?"

She put her hand on her chest, literally feeling a crushing weight of relief. "But he's here..." she whispered with a disbelieving shake of her head. "H-He's here and alive. It might not be home, but that doesn't matter, right? Maybe it ain't quite what our notion of Heaven is, but it's sorta like it? I still feel like I'm gonna wake up any moment and be back in that freezing ER waiting room, hearing that flat buzz of the monitors through the glass walls."

That's when she remembered something, and reached into her pocket and pulled out a handkerchief, unfolding it and holding the items out to Puck. "His wedding ring, his watch, Star of David Pendant on a chain you gave him for his twenty first. You remember it, right? He never took it off. They gave me these at the hospital for safe-keeping."
