I wonder if k mcc has wrote eight page letters to other mothers of missing children...or is it only the high profile cases ....claudia was a full grown woman .....and yes i know our children are our children regardless of the age ....but Claudia was a grown woman ...in charge of her own life ...not a defenseless child who needed the care and protection of her mother .....it seems it has been used for publicity imo....as who was it contacted calendar news ....if it was supposed to have been wrote for two mothers united in grief....[if genuine] some things should still be kept private

Gerry writes all the money grubbing, begging letters, and Kate writes all the 'jumping on the bandwagon' letters...... and on top of all that, they still have their 'scathing' book of 'truth' to finish and promote. What a busy pair they are. Mothers united - Joan Lawrence & Kate McCann 181154

"Joan Lawrence has revealed that the two women have formed a friendship borne out of the shared pain of not knowing what has happened to their daughters."
I am not quite sure that this is totally accurate. I think one of them knows full well what happened to her daughter. Just look at the picture of Kate coming out of church 8 days later, and then talk about shared pain.

Hello Garfy and welcome from one Yorkshire lass to another Mothers united - Joan Lawrence & Kate McCann 636506

I agree with your post and the last bit about written by mothers united in grief and that some things aught to be kept private is for me the "oh look at us, grief stricken" Now I am not saying for one moment that Claudias Mum isn't worried to death about her daughter and is suffering grief at her loss but Kate McCann, no way.
I don't mean tears, it is reported that they were shed in private.
Anyone who has ever experienced grief will know that there are many shed in private but also that grief washes over you at any time, and though we don't actually sob in an uncontrolled manner the eyes well up with tears and the person is overcome for moments.
Now I have never ever seen this with Kate McCann. I have heard her pretendy voice and I have seen her scared but never any grief.
All my opinion of course, but as an oldster I have grieved many times and seen grief in others.
Anyway hello, this forum is a good place and I hope that you find areas where you can join in with us.

Reading 8 pages of I-me-I must be torture for anyone.

Who can forget when Kate attended a service held in memory of young victims of knife and gun crimes. She got herself lots of publicity and made sure she was photographed with Jimmy Mizen's mum

This is the heartbreaking moment when the parents of murdered schoolboy Jimmy Mizen were met and comforted by Kate McCann at a service held in memory of young victims of knife and gun crime.
McCann, who of course is still tormented by her own loss - the disappearance of her daughter three years ago - shared a sympathetic hug with Barry and Margaret Mizen on the steps of Westminster Cathedral.

Mrs McCann wept as Mrs Mizen described her last minutes with Jimmy and how she had always told him she loved him.
She was personally invited by Mrs Mizen because ‘they were both mothers who had lost their children'.

My book! My book! My eight page private letter is publicity for my book!

Q: What do Mizen, Lawrence and McCann have in common?

I feel that their constant need to be in the limelight overshadows everything else, even to the extent of not respecting the grief of others. imo

Typical behavior of narcissistic sociopaths: they need attention, in whatever form or at whatever cost.

yes agree. seem to always want to be linked photos etc with real press victims like Christopher geoffries with hacked off. and the dowlers who were victims of police apparently in end when all at that levison enquiry. There PR advisors probably suggest these things maybe but the campaigns and even the sy review seems very unhealthy! with relentlessness of wanting sympathy/funds/publicity/ tabloids/ media non news or over dramatized news even etc.Threats of suing people it all seems so strange and desperate really, all the focus seems to be completely off kilter and misplaced still, 6 yrs later with mystery disappearance unsolved.!
