The Mist of Fear 20 Years After


The Mist of Fear 20 Years After

I have found that most people change kind of slowly if at all. They are who they are and then after a while, they're someone else. While some people know the exact moment where their lives changed, such as myself.
Either they saw the person they were going to marry or the look in their baby's eyes the first time he/she smiled.
For some people, it's not the good things in life that made them change. It's something they've gone through that makes everything they look at from that moment on, seem very different from how it had always been.
Again I am one of the later group of people, 20 years ago I changed after my youngest daughters abduction.
For from that experience, I learned how to fear for real and to fear all the time but also how to channel this fear of mine to help others.
People like to examine the things that frighten them, to look at them and give them names, so saints look for God, and scientists look for evidence. They're both just trying to take away the mystery, to take away the fear.
That's what I try and do for Parents of Missing Children, to channel that fear, by sharing myself.
Essentially, I am just a good listener. Though I am not a trained social worker, psychiatrist or lawyer. I let the loved ones of the Missing know, that like them. I have already gone through the same fog of despair and horror of a "Missing Loved One", albeit 20 years later.
As I offer them my hand, heart and mind in support, together we walk through the mist of fear together.
