16. I'm worried she's no longer alive.

She had heart problems, and this kind of stress-- even if they didn't hurt her physically, the fear and danger might be too much. They don't seem to be willing to provide that "proof of life".

But I'm praying for her safe return. (I'm an agnostic, and don't believe in prayer to a higher authority, but it's the only term I know for the combination of hope and support and empathy I feel in such situations.)
