It’s heartbreaking and you can tell the weight on her in the wording she’s chosen for her stories. It’s truly sad to see. I know they all love Katie but what a horrible situation for her to be in as she’s not had as long to process it and seems as though the reasoning for that was to shelter her a little which I’d assume would then mean she’s probably not al that familiar with grief, so for your mum to go would be even more soul destroying! I feel for Elle, she’s probably having to be strong for her mum and also Katie. I hope there’s some happy ending here but not sure that’s the position they’re in, and we’ve not seen much of Elle’s dad with Katie really, he seems a step back in and involved in his own work and pubs etc. I don’t think he even lives in the same town does he? Katie has just started a proper job too so it’s a lot of changes for her at the moment!
