I think you were right the first time. It might not be the same for everyone, but for me, not knowing is far worse than confirmation of death.Ugh, I'm sorry - a re-read sounds insensitive. I merely meant that they may find relief in finally knowing what happened after not hearing and expecting the worst. (ETA: still not quite right. This would be the worst. I'll just stop.)
I so agree with your sentiment and feel it deeply also... very sad no matter WHO this is. May his name be found out and spoken.
I am glad a family will have answers. I hope Daniel’s father will have the answer he has been searching so hard for soon.
