She couldn't quite fathom it. The thought of losing her haven, her safe space, was unbearable. The world suddenly felt harsh and unfriendly.

She clutched her purse tightly. She felt a distinct, physical ache in her chest. She needed the comfort of familiarity. The realization that she couldn't rely on it any longer left her feeling lost and alone.
