A Missing Person: The Effects on the Family
What are the Struggles and Impact on their Family? When a person goes missing, it can have a profound and devastating impact on their family. The uncertainty and fear of not knowing what has happened to their loved one can cause emotional distress, anxiety, and depression. In some cases, even post-traumatic stress disorder. Families may struggle with feelings of guilt, anger, helplessness, and even a sense of emptiness and loss.
