This story could be a nightmare turned into a dream. Certainly, the therapist's words proved true. Silvia took the day, accepted her niece as a guest, and went with events as they occurred. She was open to change. She allowed people into her life, even though she was an "independent" person.
Readers will be quite satisfied with your ending. Thank you for posting this story in the Ink Well community.
