Dead man walking

In the film "Dead man walking" I felt very sorry for sister Helen. She was trying to please everyone and it wasn't working out in her favor. She was trying to be Matthews spiritual leader while he was awaiting death and also have a relationship with the victims family. During the movies there's a part when she's in the car and she starts crying about being kicked out one of the victims house. I wonder what was going through her mind then. Did she regret ever deciding to be spiritual leaders for murderers?
  All in all I think it's great what sister Helen is doing. It's great that's she's providing the support one would need while going through such a difficult time in their life. What sister Helen is doing is very brave! She's loosing friendships and respect by doing this. But that didn't stop her.
