“The mother who abandons her daughter leaves a pile of questions behind: Who was she? Where is she? Why did she leave?

Death has a finality that abandonment simply does not.”

As a result, she often develops a sense of devaluation and unworthiness even more profound than that of the daughter whose mother has died.”
