Paralympic runner Oscar Pistorius' deceased girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp's mother says that she does not feel any sense of closure as she realizes that "now it's crystal clear that Reeva is never coming back".
According to the Guardian, June Steenkamp said that she feels much worse than at the beginning as it was like a realization that her daughter is not there anymore.
Now June, 68, is juggling identities of her own as she remains in pain as a grieving mother, yet she also has a story to sell.
Her decision to publish a book that includes two sentences referring to her daughter's sex life with Pistorius, has also earned criticism.
According to earlier reports, in 'Reeva: a Mother's Story', June wrote that she was shocked that the athlete was found guilty only of culpable homicide, or manslaughter.
June's book is to be published on November 6, the report added.
