AITAH for saying my husband's grandparents will probably love that their beds have been moved together and they are holding hands while on hospice?

Due to a snowballeffect starting with the heatwave currently going on one set of my husband's grandparents (on his dad's side) had heartattacks and nothing can be done despite them being in relatively good health for their age. they have fluid in their lungs that we cannot resolve so they were put in hospice care and they will probably pass away in the next few days

everyone is saying that even tho its difficult this couple has always been so close that one could never survive without the other and if wrong were to go the other would follow close after and this way neither one needs to live with the heartache of burying the other

they are kept asleep for the most part and were given pain meds to be comfortable that's it

they are in separate beds and yesterday they were in the same room but the beds were standing apart from eachother like in a normal 2 person room

there were a few occasions that one of them would either call for the other in their sleep, thy to get to them in their sleep and one occasion where his grandpa woke up fighting the sedation when only my husband and me were in the room. he was very uncomfortable and we called the nurses in for help, and while waiting try to comfort him. the thing that comforted him the most is when I told him his wife was sleeping right next to him

we left once he was back to sleep cuz that was a lot to take

fast forward to today and we got the update about them

they were conscious while they were being washed, but they will make sure they will stay fast asleep from now on. and their beds were moved against eachother with them holding hands.

my reaction to that

"oh I bet they will really like that as they have been calling for eachother yesterday in their sleep ❤️❤️❤️"

I got reprimanded for my reaction buy my husband's uncle saying "you're wrong about that" and "you need to watch what you say."

so AITAH for what I said?
