Overview

"""The ones who will conquer are not those who cause the most harm, but those who endure the most suffering."" Those were the last words of an ardent I.R.A. supporter who, while incarcerated, orchestrated a hunger strike. When remanded to prison, the Price sisters, who were implicated in the abduction of Jean McConville and many other bombings under the I.R.A, made the similar decision to commence a hunger strike in order to remain in close proximity to their families residing in Northern Ireland while serving their sentences. The mysterious disappearance of Jean McConville was an awful tragedy that took place during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. However, apart from the McConville children, it appeared that no one else was particularly worried. The McConvilles were a diverse family; Jean embraced Catholicism after meeting her husband, despite being born Protestant. The family had resided with Jean's mother, in a largely Protestant neighborhood within East Belfast, until 1969, when they were forced to leave due to escalating tensions. They found solace in West Belfast, only to realize that they were still considered outsiders. The Lost Mother is a story of sorrow and murder that reverberates through the turbulent history of Northern Ireland's Troubles. Jean, a widowed mother of ten, was tragically taken from her home in Belfast by an armed gang, leaving her loved ones devastated. The circumstances surrounding her abduction were surrounded by mystery and fueled by political strife, leaving many questions unanswered. Jean's story is a powerful reflection of the resilience and strength that emerged from the challenging times in Northern Ireland. Jean's abduction was surrounded by an air of intrigue and fear, as she was separated from her children and community, never to be found alive again. After more than three decades, her fate finally came to light when her remains were found on a beach in County Louth, Ireland, in 2003. Today, Jean McConville's name is a reminder of the countless victims of the Troubles, a symbol of the resilience and strength shown by so many during that challenging period of Northern Ireland's history. Her story is a powerful reminder of the importance of reconciliation and healing in a region that has been deeply affected by its history."
