“We Thought That
Tragedies Like This Only Happen To Other People”
On
March 2, 1998, we received a telephone call that changed our lives
forever. We were informed that our daughter Suzanne was missing
from the State University of New York at Albany. Our reaction
was one of disbelief and shock, leaving us confused and unable
to think clearly. We know our daughter well and we were positive
that she had not run away. Reluctantly, we faced the realization
that we would not wake from this “bad dream.” Life would not return
to normal. We began to accept the unthinkable, that harm had come
to her.
Over
three years later, Suzanne’s disappearance remains a mystery and
we are still faced with uncertainty and many unanswered questions.
Time does not seem to heal as it does with other types of losses.
The emotional highs and lows are not as pronounced, but it is
no less difficult for us move ahead and develop hope for the future.
Families
with missing loved ones can provide invaluable understanding,
support, and guidance for each other. Missing Person’s Day, April
6, 2002, will provide resources to help in rebuilding lives.
