Trust your subterranean instincts, Maahey. "Respiration" means breathing in and out, which is normal and healthy. "Suspiration" means breathing out, as in "sigh", and is often associated with one's last breath ... as in "and Jesus from the Ground suspires".

Seconded, without acknowledgement, by "our" careful watcher: ... "and Jesus from the Ground suspires".
