What does the forsaken woman do with her last strength?

Judges 19:26 (ESV)

26 And as morning appeared, the woman came and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her master was, until it was light.

Bloodied and broken, the woman crawls to the door of the old man’s house. And she is too weak to knock or even cry out. Her body gives out and she collapses at the door of the house, a forsaken woman.
