She seems lost, and I do not think she was helped very well by Polly. A lot of people feeling lost nowadays end up on the wrong side of 40 with little to show for it. It is heartbreaking to watch and must be terribly difficult for the families and people involved.

what is this obsession with having "something to show for it"? why is it not enough to just be a normal, decent human being?
