This act of compassion from the heart of another allows the woman to return to her true form….the flesh comes back to the bones. <br /> <br /> (Full version of the Skeleton Woman is found in the chapter "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" from the book, “Women Who Run with the Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkcola Estes)
