Grief

I have been amazed, while reading the news tonight regarding the possible sighting of Madeleine Mccann, in Dunedin, not long after she first disappeared.

I was really saddened when i saw a photo of her mother Kate. The toll that the grief that she has experienced/is still experiencing, on her physically is pretty telling. I did not even recognise her, when i saw a recent photo of her, compared the the photos taken 3 years ago, when Madeleine first disappeared.

Isn't this just proof of how our mental health takes a physical toll on us? People think that depression, grief, or sadness...is just something in our heads that people should just get over. It is so much more than that. It affects the whole body. It spreads and gets worse, just like any other chronic condition...when left untreated. The following photos, are proof of that.

She looks like a different person. These photos have really made me sad tonight. If these photos are not proof that the parents had nothing to do with her dissapearance, as has been previously speculated...i do not know what is.






Less than three years between photos.
