Accessory to Stolen Love

Initially, she felt lost and abandoned amid grief and loneliness among many fears. She knew that she was not alone for there was someone there in the darkness with her. How could this be?, she would often ask herself. She knew that family and friends were holding her hands, rather in person or spiritually. They were there but not like the presence sitting beside her. The love she felt surrounding her led her through that darkness onto a pathway she had yet to explore--one that allowed her to build a successful career, to reconnect with a lost love, to become entangled in an inappropriate relationship, to forgiveness. Letting go of what had been giving her life, was truly a hard act to do.
