Returning to life after "being missing" - An awesome read!

[TatianaBarbie]

I just read this article after finding the link on Facebook. It is the story of a British journalist who went missing in 2016. She was found, but the real struggle, she says, was the return to her life. I don't want to give too many details, because I want everyone to read this!

'I deliberately went missing - this is what happened when I came home'

So many times, in the missing person forum, we research, we agonize, we console, and we encourage. If the person is found alive, we celebrate. Then we are then told to respect their privacy. Their privacy is absolutely necessary, to help them return to the life they left.

This article explores the author's trauma in that return, and she offers suggestions.

This was an interesting read. It's interesting that at the very bottom of the article it notes she has disappeared twice, or I read it wrong.
