Writing for The Independent today, Kate McCann speaks movingly about her own experiences as the mother of a missing child.
The story of her daughter, Madeleine, is obviously an especially high-profile one. Her sentiments, though, will strike a chord with everyone who has suffered such a trauma, and all should find them highly affecting: “Whenever I hear about a young person who feels vulnerable, frightened, or at risk, it resonates so deeply. I recognise the fear, the exhaustion, and the fragile balance between hope and heartbreak that families live with every day.”
