Nothing at all, no; thank you for asking.

I think about you (OP) and this thread every day, especially when my kids are bickering and telling each other the horrible things they want to happen to each other, and I just tell them to be careful what they wish for, and that there are people in this world who ARE suffering that sort of thing, and who are going through hell.

There are no words that anyone can say to comfort things, apart from, that I hope she is at peace wherever she is.

Sorry to hear this. I'm still surprised just how someone can disappear these days

Also sorry to hear this OP.

Thoughts with you and your family.

Our families are the firmament around us, our fixed points in an uncertain world. The sky is irrevocably dimmer when they’re no longer there.

I don’t know if I mentioned, but one of my uncles also committed suicide in January. It has been very much an annus horribilis.

Yes, seconded. I also think of this sad event quite often.

Blimey OP, you've properly been through the mill, once again my condolences.

I often think of the remote location of your sister's disappearance. That forest (from Google Maps imagery) looks so dense, near impossible to search, I know you have explained the challenges of that previously.

Apologies for how i worded my question, just reread it and it comes across quite blunt.

To echo others, its a sad situation and one i cant begin to imagine trying to understand as a family. I hope you find answers

I live about 15 miles from the area. only recently moved here. Its very, very remote once you get out of the villages and into the Forest Park.
The area often reminds me of the forests in the Stanislaus National Forest in California.

OP, I hope whatever good can come does come. I really don't know what else to say such a terrible situation.

[skwdenyer]

Thank you all for the kind words. They genuinely do help.

God that's awful. I must be really really tough to cope with those two horrible events.

[Bobupndown]

Having lost my sister to suicide I can totally emphasise with your situation. The unanswered questions remain, even though 20 years have gone by now.
I hope you get closure to this.

[SistersofPercy]

I am so sorry your family is still going through this skwdenyer. I do often think of her, and the injustice that so many are missing leaving no answers for the ones they leave behind.
I hope one day you get closure.

I suffer from long term depression and tbh thought about this a lot, but never gone through. It is a tough life with minimal support that basically no one can understand or even try to fix you.

. Best wishes .

Micky always people to talk to in person, via this place or professionally. Keep strong.

Bob, story to hear about your sister, I have worked with a few people who have had family/good friends kill themselves.

skwdenyer I was for a construction company with a drone section, I believe they are used extensively for LIDAR on major projects I.e. HS2. I can have a work with the lead person if it’s of any use for when the weather is better (even to confirm capabilities).

Wish you all the best.

[CallThatMusic]

Thinking of you and hope that there is some form of closure for you and your family soon.

People say this, but from my experience, work, GPS, mental health professionals, social services etc are ill equipped to deal with long term depression, and even give out medication that makes it worse.

There is a massive issue that from my experience will never get resolved because it is just not fully given the investment it needs.

Luckily exercise is my saviour but I think people in general need to understand that long term deep depression is very hard to understand and isn't resolved by talking, and you will never understand it, if you have experienced it. Getting on for 30 odd years for me.

Again best wishes to op.

I'm so sorry to hear that. This sort of thing "happens to other people" - until it doesn't. It is hard to communicate how it impacts us.

I'm also very sorry to hear that. Provision for long-term depression is so utterly woeful, in this country especially.

Thank you. Yes, very much yes. I've done some work with a consumer drone, and have a few ideas about how they might be use in the future to help find people "in real time," but there's definitely work that could be done at Loch Doon to help narrow down some unknowns.

If something good can out of it, honestly anyone you think is lonely just give them a ring, say hello. Stuff like that really does help . Try to turn around into something that can help others if you can
