Theft.

Heirlooms; CDs; a special guitar which had meaning in your life.

Done in illness, without consciousness, without premeditation, against her own will, while she tried to fight but failed. For money to buy alcohol.

Sadness. Pieces of your life are gone.

Compassion. Her remorse is so heart-wrenching.

Resignation. These are only things. She is flesh and blood. They can't feel hurt the way she does.

Someone else will enjoy them.
