Dolls, Those Damned Dolls

Vashelisa's mother gave her a doll like no other doll in the world, instructing her daughter to never let any one see it and carry it with her always. She takes out the doll, feeds it a little, gives it a drink, and then tells it about her grief of her mother dying. The doll listens and then says, grief is worse at night, and morning is wiser in the evening. And vachelisa found that she did feel better the next day.
