Epilogue (Edit #1)

[Todd]

There's a lot I like here.

Reading the obituary is much softer--The opening line has an understated power to it. It does what an opening should do. There's tension. It's magnetic.
than swinging our front door open
and seeing her once perfect face
dripping blood, nose cracked sideways--I understand your need for contrast and while nose cracked sideways is interesting. The dripping blood and her brown eyes emptied of life just state the condition flatly. There's a shock value of sorts but no real push. It's tough because the obituary is the softer figurative access point and the body is starkly the body. I just don't know if the stark retelling works for you. Maybe play with figurative language without being figurative ala Neruda for example: "and the blood of children ran through the streets without fuss, like children's blood." 
I think implying figurative without giving it to the reader might be a possible path.
and her brown eyes emptied of life.

The obituary is easier than a phone call--nice break
from the police
at the darkest hour--while I can get a bit of dark night of the soul, it's coming close to melodrama.
of night, voices cold as her flesh--this is nice. You could maybe even figuratively push it a bit more but it works and I like it.
because they've only seen her finale,
not the whole film.--I like these lines.

Writing her obituary is like--what this line does well and you might want to emphasize it more is the use of her. You may want to consider emphasizing it more by removing the pronoun from the earlier strophes. To give an earlier distance and now an immediacy--just a thought.
skipping the last five chapters
of another person's book
and attempting an epilogue
to a story that never ended.--I think the ending is strong because it isn't an ending and can't be an ending. It is the grief that goes beyond the body. I like what you've done here on the whole.

I hope some of this is helpful.

Best,

Todd
