His father died shortly after and Poe suffered greatly during his life not being able to claim to have “known” his parents. Poe did indeed gain another motherly figure, Francis Allen, who also ended up passing away early in his life. He also was faced with the challenge of losing his wife. Poe lost some of the most important people in a man’s life, the women they love. Out of the supplementary of works Poe had written, I personally had found his poem “The Raven” uniquely interesting because it closely expresses the devastation that Poe went through throughout his life.
Later in the novel, Mikage is to deal the death of Eriko. At first, it came as a shock to her, and it took a while for her to realize that once again, she lost a loved one. One thing we see, is that Mikage has always had someone to help her get through these difficult ones. After Eriko’s death, she’s old enough to start a job and matures the hard way.

Each family member reacts to death differently and forces family members to make changes in their lives in order to adjust to life without this family member. Raney and Charles had a hard time accepting the suicide of Uncle Nate. When Charles voiced his opinion that Uncle Nate was clearly depressed, obsessive-compulsive, and crippled from his life experiences, thus needing psychological help in order to heal, Raney took it as an insult. In Raney’s mind, Charles was placing blame on her, her family, and specifically, her mother who spent most of her time taking care of Uncle Nate.
The death of his foster mother was very difficult for him to handle, and he enlisted himself in the army to get away from the abuse at his foster home.

94). Heart breaking, tears rolling, he states this after suffering through much pain after seeing both his son and wife dead.

After that event in those early years of my life it continued to be hard for me to understand that there stands no chance of seeing him again .
This is represented when the narrator says “We remembered all the young men her father had driven away…” (704). If he would not have done this, Emily would have most likely had someone to care for her and her to care for. Instead, he died and left her alone to try to fend for herself without any experience of independence. Even after her father passed away, that “crayon portrait” still had a large role in her life, and the effects of his neglect were still being felt. His neglect is still being felt because he has her living in the past.
