The most major way that Emily has changed is in the way she deals with her children. She used to be manipulative and authoritative when coercing Richard to live the life that she has planned for him.
All that changes after she loses Richard and after that, she loses Kheong as well. She learns to value those close to her more. She learns that love also means letting go sometimes. When confronted with the possibility of Doris running off with some strage American man, Emily relents and offers support instead of bulldozing her way through like she did with Richard. She changes her tune and does not try to make Doris follow her wishes, allowing her to “Live [her] own life”. They grow closer and Doris actually becomes closer to Emily when she is in America than she ever was in Emerald Hill.
