Writing helps woman cope with loss of friend after lightning strike
A Tampa woman went through something that not everyone lives to tell about. Sadly, she knows that all too well. Three years ago, Karen Maharaj and the man she was dating were struck by lightning on Siesta Key Beach. He was killed by the bolt. Maharaj used writing as a way to process and cope with the loss. Heading into storm season, she hopes her words might just save someone else's life.
