I understand saying weird stuff or joking awkwardly in order to make light of a horrible situation. Everybody handles it differently.
What I do not understand is how the most important person in her life (outside of her kids I would assume) has been missing for a couple weeks and fliers aren't being distributed, media isn't informed, etc. Hell if Mrs. WNK or a good friend went missing for a couple weeks (with no notice or communication) I'd start turning over every rock because sadly I would only assume something very bad has happened. This is the part I just don't understand. Where are the 200+ people search parties combing fields and wooded areas?
Once again I understand how people say awkward things to put light of a horrible situation, but I do not understand why rocks aren't being turned over searching for the guy.
