Because she loved Prim and wanted to make sure nothing bad happened to her
Katniss stopee singing because her father died.
Katniss Everdeen's father died when she was 11 and her sister Primrose was 7. He died in a coal mining accident where there was an explosion underground and he couldn't get help. This left Katniss, Primrose and her Mother alone to fend for themselves. Soon after Katniss started hunting illegally with gale to get food for the family and to sell on to other people to get money as her mother wasn't making any. When Katniss was saying her final (or what she thought would be final) goodbye to her Mother and Prim, she said for her mother to stay and look after Prim and not to run away and leave her as it would be tough living by herself without her. Hope this Helps you.
When Katniss's father died in a mine explosion, her mother was so devastated that she went into a state of "zoning out" where she was completely unresponsive and it left the entire role of caring and providing for the family to Katniss and it made her mad
He was a coal miner
Katniss' mom was depressed when her husband died in the mining accident
Depends on how you look at it. When her father died in a mine explosion, Katniss's mother just completely tuned out and literally did nothing but just stare off into space. This left an 11-year-old Katniss on her own in finding a way to fend for herself and her family. They all nearly died of hunger and she knew that in order to survive, she'd have to hunt illegally.
