She cleaned out the dusty attic, unearthing forgotten treasures and old photographs. She donated things. She found herself energized, eager to clear out the old and bring in the new.

She started taking evening walks with her mother, enjoying the crisp night air and the quiet companionship. She spent hours in the garden, learning from her father. She started cooking meals, and she felt like a real person again.
