"Sarah was weighed down by misery. It was too cruel having Maggie here among them, someone who had gotten past feeling like an island in a sea of confusion. Drawing her walker to her, she leaned her upper body on it for support. The isolation she had felt drowned by since she'd been her made the wall recede and wrap around her like a thick fog. It was a peculiar kind of loneliness. She knew, on some level, that everyone in the group was just as alone as she, but it didn't matter. There was no certainty about anything to Sarah except her own pain."
