Mine's probably not going to be a popular opinion, but in this particular case I don't think it's necessary to get too bogged down in categorizing what type of feelings Pearl had. She loved Rose enough that she's willing to become an outcast of their only home if it meant standing by her. Even when that love can't be reciprocated anymore she still wants to do right by her (though I have no doubt that these feelings were further intensified by grief). That's all that needs to be said for me.
