Her family also issued a statement which said: "We have been overwhelmed by the support from our community and would like to thank everyone for their ongoing efforts to help us find Nicola. Waking up without you in the house on Christmas morning feels strange, but I know you’re both up there, happy in Heaven. Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad. Nicola has been missing for five days now and her family has said: "Paul had to tell the girls what was going on. He just told them, ''Mummy's lost''. It's heartbreaking.”
Christmas magic is in the air. I know how much you loved this time of year, Mom, and I miss you so much! Police divers returned to the Lancashire river where Nicola Bulley disappeared, six weeks on from the discovery of her body. I am 29 and will give birth in 2 months to the first grandchild in the family. My dad passed a few days ago suddenly after entering hospice and stopped his battle with cancer. It all happened so fast. He was diagnosed at the end of August and now he is gone from this earth in October.Johan Duncan, daughter of missing Patricia, said: “Next week will be the anniversary of my mum going missing. Grief will vary from person to person, though there are certain emotions and circumstances that many of us will experience. It can often be a source of comfort to hear from someone who has experienced the emotional rollercoaster of losing a loved one and has come out on the other side. With this in mind, we present this guest post from Kiri Nowak, who blogs over at The Content Wolf. Kiri shares her experience of bereavement after losing a parent, and some things she’s learned along the way. I know Rhonda. My daddy died a couple months ago. My mom about four years prior. I was very close to my mom who was a nurse before she was a mom, chaired an indigent hospital and sewed quilts for the homeless. My dad was an entertainment attorney, but was especially politically active, an environmentalist and human rights lawyer who did a lot of work pro bono. My sister hasn’t talked to me except on the day my dad died. I have very good friends and my cousin has been there when he isn’t busy with his new grandchild. Im okay and then I sob uncontrollably all of a sudden. I am grateful I had a long time with him and my mom, but the fact that they were so loving makes me feel even more alone. No one except for my cousin and his wife in my family has called or left a condolence card, except another cousin who took the occasion to lecture me on what to do and how to feel! My boyfriend who is a lot younger has tried to reach out, but we are barely out of the pandemic and because he hasn’t experienced the death of an immediate family member doesn’t know how to react. Its Fathers Day and I wonder how I will cope. I know he would want me to be strong, carry on and even be happy at some point. Today just feels endless. Relatives of Patricia Duncan, a mum-of-seven who vanished from her Moray home more than 20 years ago, and Alan Rae, a teen Army cadet who went to an Argyll and Bute training exercise more than three decades ago but never returned, are amongst dozens of families still desperately looking for answers.
Chief Inspector Chris Barton, of Lancashire Police, said: "Nicola has now been missing for two days and we are extremely concerned about her. Firstly, if anybody saw her on Friday morning and has not yet been spoken to by police, or if anybody has any other information about where she might be, please get in touch with us straight away. Lancashire Police Superintendent Sally Riley held the latest press conference on the Nicola Bulley case today and revealed thousands of pieces of information have been submitted by members of the public. She confirmed a team of 40 detectives were investigating approximately 500 lines of enquiry. Denise said: “To this day I’m baffled how someone can just vanish like that. Every day I still get people coming up to me saying ‘what about your brother?’ Everyone remembers Alan and what happened but the last time I spoke to the police about Alan was several years ago. Her family have stepped forward and asked for all "appalling" speculation about her private life to come to an end.
I just lost my father to cancer 9 days ago and the only two things I’m dealing with that are rough are; 1) I’m in a zombie state and I’ve cried a lot over the last 9 days and I’m now not being able to sleep at night, I get maybe 4 hours per night, and I just want the pain to go away which I do know that it will take time and patience. 2) I feel so lost on what to say or do as I am almost 37 years old and my little brother is 15 and my baby sister is only 12, we have different mothers but the same father and I’m just lost and empty inside but I’m not sure what to say or do in front of them because as a young boy to young parents I was always told you can cry bc it’s normal but have to be strong for your younger siblings. So how can I be there for them and still grieve our loss?!?!? I know a lot of this will take time and just being there for them is enough for them and we all know this in our family, but how do I face my stepmom when I look EXACTLY like our father and the love of her life that she just lost to cancer?! I am angry at cancer but no one or anything else. If anyone has any words of wisdom I’d love to hear them. My family and I started to dread the first Christmas without him pretty soon after he passed away, and when November came around we were all experiencing feelings of panic. In the end, we decided not to get a tree or put any decorations up and flew to Barbados to visit family. Skipping Christmas that year felt way easier than doing all our usual traditions without him. We lost my grandad this year at the ripe age of 94. Since my Nan died a long time ago, he has come to us for dinner almost every Christmas Day. When the loved one was a close family member, the holidays can be especially difficult. Your first Christmas without your mom or the first time you have to sit at the holiday dinner table without your dad can be super difficult. Remember each of these special people with heartfelt quotes that speak to the holes they left in your heart.
