Parents To Take Break To Grieve |

The heart-broken parents of Madeleine McCann are to take a break from their
high-profile campaign - to give themselves time to grieve.
Kate and Gerry McCann have been at the centre of a media storm ever since the
four-year-old was snatched from the Algarve
resort town of Praia
da Luz 37 days ago.
They have travelled across Europe to raise the
profile of her disappearance and are about to fly to north
Africa to continue the hunt.
But once they return on Tuesday, the couple said they would "take
stock" and decide what to do next.
Mrs McCann said it was time to pull back from all the attention.
"When I'm speaking in public it helps take my mind off things. It's a
distraction because you know that might help, but it's time to step back from
that."
Mr McCann said he was finding increasingly hard to control his feelings:
"There's been a lot of emotion in the last 10 days.
"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 anymore. I want to be able to
grieve and let those emotions out."
Mr McCann said they felt they had covered the main countries where appeals
might help but now it was time for a break.
"We'll still meet with the Portuguese police as we have done fairly
regularly and with the British Police. But it is definitely going to be a
period of reflection.
The couple plan to stay in the Algarve
at least until the end of the summer or until Madeleine is found.
But at some point, they will have to make the painful decision to go home.
Mr McCann said: "There's been a lot of talking and thinking about that
going on behind the scenes.
"I can see myself having to go back to the UK to meet with people,
it is just more efficient to do things over there.
"It will be very, very hard, the last time I was back, I couldn't even go
into the house, I found it hard enough going to
Rothley."
Mrs McCann said they woke every morning hoping it would be the day Madeleine
was found. |
