Sir, – Much has been said and written lately concerning the RTÉ drama Amber; the predominant opinion being one of anger and frustration towards the programme-makers at the lack of explanation at the end of the storyline.
As a member of a family living with the ongoing reality of a missing person, I find it regrettable that the general discourse was much less inclusive of the fact that there are many in our society living with a lack of resolution, but one that is real and not fictional.
In recent times there has been an effort – admirably so – to recognise and have compassion for those among us suffering with mental anguish. I would hope that a similar appreciation could be held for those of us living with the lack of closure that an inexplicably absent loved-one creates. – Yours, etc,
