Wisdom from Rizana's mother

Rizana's mother - Ms.Rafeena Nafeek
I read a post from BBC titled "Sri Lanka's Rizana Nafeek: Mother forgives Saudi beheading".

And here I extract few quotes from Rizana's mother. We have many things to learn and think.

There's no point in blaming anyone - Rizana has gone 
We only got to know [about] her execution from the media. They [the Saudi authorities] should have at least told us about it.
Even our request to get her body to Sri Lanka was refused.
Mrs Nafeek urged other impoverished families not to send their daughters for domestic work in Saudi Arabia or anywhere else.
Instead she said that they should educate their children, a wish that Rizana had expressed for her own young siblings before her death.
