Bittersweet, But Mostly Bitter, And Actually Not Sweet At All

Just an update on the physician who disappeared about six weeks ago. Like was mentioned by Lisa who commented, the doctor was found in her car, submerged in water, in the Oakland Estuary. It appears that she got lost, took a wrong turn and drove into the estuary.

It was painful to see a picture of her weary and resigned-looking husband. It's hard to imagine the wave of emotions that would overwhelm a person in his situation---relief to have an answer, grief that had maybe until this point been kept in check, utter sadness that now all hope was lost. So good to have an answer; so sad that it was not the one desperately hoped for.

My thoughts linger with a family desolated at a time of supposed joy. I know there are many out there. I hope there are moments, even if small, of unexpected happiness for all of them.
