Upon entering the stop for Roger a feeling of sadness is strong as this family is on high emotion, still " what we call fresh"' see just a little over a year he became missing; all of the family are now in phase one...lost, not on familiar ground and wearing TORN on their faces...that's the worst for me as an advocate, getting them through the torn part. This is also the phase in a case where you see other families of the missing move into protective mode over the fresh/newbie families, this is also where you see small miracles of trust develop and Bonding occur. Still no place any of us ever want to be! It was heart wrenching to listen as each family member expressed their individual pain as you could measure each loss on that
Level as well. Again, another departure feeling accomplished that our family master their first public event, speaking out, standing up and for their absent loved one. As we pull out into traffic, I think the sad and worst thing at the moment is that life still has to go on.
