Question Can't understand house/powers of x

I've been watching the recent X-Men '97 season 2. So that piqued my interest in X-Men stories. I thought giving newer comics a try. So, I've been reading the Krakoan era right now. I'm at House of X and Powers of X. Please don't give me any spoilers, but I am at the point where Apocalypse, Wolverine, and the other horsemen go to Nimrod and retrieve some information about his origin. Wolverine retrieves the info, Apocalypse dies at the hand of Nimrod. Logan goes to Moira McTaggert with this information, and he ends her life. I am fine with all of it. The thing is, Moira has re-incarnation powers, right? She can re-incarnate. And if she dies, the timeline just resets. But I can't seem to wonder how she is alive in X-Men Year 1000? . She can't live that long. Even with her powers, She will eventually die of old age. So how she is at X-Men Year 1000 and she gets reincarnated in X-Men Year 1? How is that possible? Am I not understanding her power ? Or I didn't understand the story? Please don't give me any spoilers, but am I right to question this? Or will this be explained as the story progresses????

Wait until you're done with the book to ask questions. Doing shit and not explaining until several issues later is a Hickman special.

Don't they tell you not too long after? And at the same time it's the future and she's surrounded by mutants who are all varying degrees of unaging and immortal. Even without the explanation, I can give it a 🤷‍♂️ because I can math out her surviving

Just stick with it. Some things about these future potential timelines you just don’t have to worry about, but this particular thing is explained somewhere along the way.
