51:30 Final thoughts

Q1: My question is about closing an open loop when it is impossible to get closure and all the information. A good friend of mine went missing 17 years ago. Police did an investigation but never found out what happened to him. He seemingly vanished into thin air. The investigation has been dead for 17 years with no new leads so it’s likely we’ll never know what happened to him. I still have an open loop regarding his disappearance and I regularly think about what might’ve happened to him. How can I close the loop and move on if it’s impossible to get all the information? Will this haunt me for the rest of my life? I’m not holding out hope that he’s alive, he’s likely dead, but I want closure and I’ll probably never get it. What can I do?
