Wouldn't this be one worse possible scenario for any parent?

Here we have a highly intelligent daughter who falls in love not only with a faraway tropical Island paradise, but also with the builder of her dream house, unbeknown to her parents.

She is then subjected to acts of voodoo, defrauded over the purchase of her land, and increasing acts of violence against her from her husband, only to end in her mysterious death.

This woman was well into middle age when she married again, in 2009. Her death is unexplained. Now, if a child was young, became a drug addict, was murdered, and the body never found, that would, in my opinion, be harder to bear, hard though this is for her parents, who are in their eighties.

Of course it is terrible for any parent, for a child to be lost in a foreign country and married to someone who allegedly treated their child badly.

But as a parent of three grown-up daughters, I accept that they make their choices and deicisions to suit themselves, which is absolutely as it should be.

All any parent can do is hope that their child marries someone who makes them happy, and is good to them. The rest is down to the couple.

I am very lucky - and i appreciate it on a daily basis - that my girls have all made good relationships and are raising their children with their respective partners in atmospheres of love and kindness.

Others are not so lucky - as has happened here.

Absolutely horrific, but at least she had a chance to live her life. I feel greater sympathy for those poor parents of the children submitted to child abuse/rape by that nursery school worker - remember that woman who shared the pictures with her gang of paedos?

The parents now have to live with what happened and don't know whether the abuse will rear its ugly head in future.

And the parents of murdered children - that's worse than the death of grown ups.

Don't you think that's worse than the murder of an adult?

But that adult was someones child, irrespective of age.

That adult was also someone's mother..............

I don't think anyone can say one person's death is worse than another. The death of any offspring, whether adult or child, must be horrendous for the parents.

Are there any elements of THIS story that make it especially heartbreaking?

Is it because it happened aboard?

The manner other demise, or perhaps the idea that she thoughts she'd found paradise, only to have her dreams crushed?

I am interested to see what prompted your post...
