For this episode I felt more bad for the mom, accidentally killing her son and not wanting to let him go after it was obvious he wasn't coming back. That would cause a whole lot of guilt. The dad although heartbroken, seemed to be okay and dealing with it well.
I really felt for Ned this episode as well, trying to give his dad's stuff away because he doesn't want to see his mom hurting anymore. This was a sad episode.
That "death of a loved one" caused so much anxiety for me after this episode ๐ญ
