Blogging Break

 I'm taking a break from blogging,  for two major reasons :

a.   I find it hard to concentrate on chosen topics, while there's war and tragedy going on in my Middle Eastern  area.

b.   The High  Holy Days season (New Year,  The Day of Atonement , Sukkot...) starts on the  2nd of October.  I have to think of ways to welcome these  holy days, in spite of the messy situation, and the expected escalation of conflicts in the region.

Hoping, and praying to God  for better times.

Wishing you all, the very best!

Found Alive...

 

We feel deeply relieved when seeing the above words about people who have disappeared.

I remember, though, cases  where the disappeared people have not been found at all, neither dead  nor alive,  becoming unsolved mysteries.

A lot depends on the investigating teams, and on the co-operation and  persistence of the family, if there is one around.

I've recently read the incredible story of Flora, found alive after 42 years of disappearance, in an old people's home . The investigators  could not  get much  out of her about the disappearance, as she was with dementia.

However, they were given a little clue from another woman resident. It appeared, Flora had confided in her about having lived in an abusive marriage. 

That might perhaps explain her sudden and very mysterious  disappearance. which gave, over the years, a lot of work to various investigating teams.

I , personally, must admit , after carefully reading the long story,  that  I am not convinced the husband was the reason (and not  because he seemed devastated , and willing to help the police find her).

I believe she was suffering of some  kind of  strange psychic problem that had distorted her mind and behavior, finally leading to her disappearance.    Sad story .
