Trying To Adapt
Elly made an effort to function without Steven, but she had grown to depend on him. She was too old to take care of herself in many ways. Her kids kept telling her to relocate south and get out of the house. But she had brought up her entire family there. The final piece of Peter she had was his house. Despite the fact that Elly couldn’t bear to part with it, she was starting to think that she wouldn’t have a choice.
Trying To Live Alone
Elly was resolved to at least attempt to live alone. She attempted some repairs herself, went to the grocery store, and kept the house tidy. She persisted with this for around three weeks before something transpired that made it abundantly plain to her that this was simply not an option.
