As a footnote, my 91 y.o. mother passed away peacefully yesterday, she was not a very nice person but in some ways this guitar helps heal some old wounds.
The loss of a parent seems to be a complex thing for just about everyone. My dad passed away in 1959, prior to my eighth birthday. But my mom made it to 90 - a dear person who had survived the Nazi takeover of Greece during WWII (while losing both parents in her early teens).
One thing I'm always struck by is that in most cases, the further you go back in time, the harder it was to just get by in life.
