I haven't read every single post, so forgive me if this info has been sorted out already. I wanted to comment on the possibility of a miscarriage and how this may or may not have anything to do with her being missing.
This is just my experience, and I know not everyone is the same, so take it with a grain of salt. I had a recent miscarriage and it devastated me. I started falling apart, couldn't stop crying, began having thoughts of suicide. I was also physically affected, as it caused me to bleed for over two weeks & I felt tired, weak, and run down. I was going downhill fast and I was not in the best mind for taking self-care measures.
My boss found me sobbing on the stairs at work (again) and ended up telling me if I didn't call for help, she would be calling for me. I decided to call myself because I didn't want her calling 911. 😐 I called & scheduled a follow-up with my midwife, who suspected PPD & sent me to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist diagnosed me with PPD and started me on an anti-depressant. He said the miscarriage, besides obviously being sad and traumatic, had thrown my hormones off & was affecting my brain chemistry. After a while on the anti-depressants, I was still sad, but less out of control with my feelings and suicidal ideation.
This is just my own perspective, but I was very distraught and it wasn't too far out of the realm of possibility to think about driving to a forest and walking into it, not caring what ended up happening after that, or maybe taking pills/meds of some sort & then walking in, etc. NOT saying this is what happened here, but until recently, I didn't know one could develop PPD after a miscarriage (not a full-term birth), either.
From being on WS, I'm pretty jaded & generally lean towards suspecting foul play over suicide or an accident in the majority of cases. I haven't caught up on this entire case, yet, but is there a general consensus from WS members on what may have happened here?
She's at peace now.
