14-year-old Kathleen found parts of her life hard to manage.
I said this in my submissions that I had a very short fuse.
I had a ball of anger.

But life had to move on for Elizabeth's siblings.
And as the decades passed, there were marriages, careers, children, and more recently, grandchildren.
We've had to get on with our lives.
