Read the excerpt and answer the question.

to add to the dolefulness of the former day, and the dismalness of the present night, my thoughts ran upon
my losses and sad bereaved condition. all was gone, my husband gone (at least separated from me, he being
in the bay, and to add to my grief, the indians told me they would kill him as he came homeward), my children
gone, my relations and friends gone, our house and home and all our comforts--within door and without--all
was gone (except my life), and i knew not but the next moment that might go too. there remained nothing to
me but one poor wounded babe, and it seemed at present worse than death that it was in such a pitiful
condition, bespeaking compassion, and i had no refreshing for it, nor suitable things to revive it.
