Cover art for You've Passed lyrics by Neutral Milk Hotel

This reminds me of a mom bending backwards for her duties. Maybe the mom is sick, and the afterlife or distances including hospitalization of her children give more comfort. Imagine living in so much pain that a break from life is cheered on by yourself and others. I sort of live in this situation and have moments I wish I could hug my mom, but the pain is too great. We are in satanic ritual abuse and there are some songs on this album that mention some of the puppetry aspects.
