Her father had been deceased for many years, so her mother was the one who got to bury her.
I wonder how the parents' lives would have been different if they had not spent so much time and energy trying to keep their daughter afloat. (Their daughter, who was a grown woman, responsible for her own choices.) I can't help but wonder...how exactly was their daughter "helped" by their efforts? I don't see how they did...... ?
