Thanks for the links.

I have heard it said that English, at least, has too few words to encompass the different forms of what it lumps together under the term "love".

I suspect, perhaps for that reason, most of us have a very inadequate philosophical understanding of the concept, and maybe a consequent tendency to self deception.

I hope your sister finds whatever liberation she needs.

I think I'll stick with a mug of coffee and a biscuit as the best approach...!
