Got bored and Googled her just to see what she was up to. Haven't seen her on the air since she hosted "Driving Television"

Bad news:
Midcap, who arrived at WGCL in 2007, said the death of her boyfriend, who took his own life in July 2009, precipitated this departure. (For respect for the family, she requested we not release his name.)

She has been meeting with a grief counselor and therapists to grapple with her loss. She has nightmares and has been unable to sleep soundly. She said she takes medication and sleep aids.

“I can’t keep doing that,” she said. “It’s starting to affect me on the air. I can’t think on the air.”

She said she also may have some stress-related vocal cord damage she’s worried might be permanent.
That's too bad.

That sucks. What her ex did was really s***. I hope she finds a way to deal with her grief.
