McCanns wind down 'tour' for missing Madeleine


More importantly I don’t want to do that any more – I want to be able to grieve."


Sorry to point out the obvious, but the word 'grieve' is an odd one ... that word is associated with bereavement. I can't believe just how wrongly chosen that word is ... 'to deplore, to mourn' ... I can't understand why he chose that word ... I am not implying that it suggests Maddy has been harmed in anyway ... I just am surprised at using that word to describe their sorrow.

Daily Mail Headline; says:
The parents of missing Madeleine McCann are winding down their highly-publicised world tour to "reflect" on what more they can do to find their daughter. Madeleine’s father spoke of the couple’s need for time to grieve as they faced the possibility that the four-year-old had been taken by an organised paedophile gang. "We will not give up, but there will be a different way of doing it," said Mr McCann. "I can see myself having to go back to the UK to meet with people. It will be very, very hard. We are thinking of the wider issues now, that Madeleine’s disappearance might be…linked to organised abuse of children. When we get back from Morocco we want to sit back and take stock of what we’re doing. I think that Kate and I personally, and also family and friends who have been campaigning, will need a break. We’ll still meet with the Portuguese police as we have done fairly regularly. "We’ve made a vow to each other that we would take time for ourselves. The emotional time has been in private. When we’re making appeals, we don’t want anything to cloud that. There’s been a lot of emotion in the last ten days. It’s definitely in quieter moments. In the first few weeks when I slipped into dark moments of despair I was finding it quite easy to emotionally switch a light back on, but I’ve been finding it increasingly difficult to do. More importantly I don’t want to do that any more – I want to be able to grieve."

Mrs McCann said she had found it particularly difficult to face the media.

A lady of rank and four others of servitude are around her. They are of generous heart in her temporary imprisonment. There is one who is like a companion to her. Promises are made of her eventual return home. Her scant belongings already packed. Her journey home to take her down though the snow capped high mountains in the distance; through by way of defined trails. But it is not yet. Of it they talk and they prepare. For she is to be somehow concealed. Then when it is time, onwards through the night with her constant companion by her side. Both dressed as paupers to blend in with the crowds. Whence they came her companion would have worn recogniseable gowns. Through European looking towns her trail back home will lead. Though it will be some time before she is finally home. Know she trusts her constant companion. Never has she meant her any harm.
