Bereavement of mumsnetter Catthiefkeith

www.meningitis.org
www.meningitisnow.org

Both charities have the option to donate in memory of a named person, and there won't be the justgiving cut taken.

Might be a better option for now, so CTK's family don't feel overwhelmed by mumsnet invasion on the page they set up, and it does out her when she may not have wanted that.

Could I get a PM for the JG page?

Can someone pleade DM me the just giving page.

It is the same for searching on the mobile site.

PringlesInMyPants. You can search by 'Started By' only.

When you're in AS there's a heading/box called 'Search type'. The default setting is 'Search messages', but if you click on that there's a small drop-down box where you can click on the second option down, which is 'Search by thread titles only'. That will only find threads started by a specific MNer.

Having said that, that's how it works on the desktop site - I'm not sure if it's the same on the mobile site or the App.

MyPatronusIsAUnicorn thanks, but I meant the threads started by her rather than just those she contributed to.

How do you do it in CTK name? Would her family know and see the support? I don't know her real name.

If you want to donate directly to a meningitis charity then you can still do it in CTKs name. It also would mean 100% of the money would go to the charity. Just Giving keeps a small percentage of each donation.

I'd like to donate too. Yes we could donate to any meningitis charity, but I'd like to do it in CTK name. I'd love a PM if possible.

I'd like to donate too if someone could please PM me the link.

Could I get a pm please with a link to the Just Giving page? I'd like to make a donation.

So sad.

So sorry to hear this. CTK's posts always made me smile and I wish I had been lucky enough to know her in RL.

DM me a link please, I'd also like to donate.

'Bastard Donkey of Destiny' is the best thing I've read today I'm sure CTK would have loved it.

Bastard Donkey of Destiny kicking people off this mortal coil. Could it just not? Or at least, could it lay off the heart-wrenchingly tragic deaths & leaving small people minus parents (& vice versa, yes) thing?

Am so sorry for CTK's family & friends - it's a horrible thing to have happened

So sorry to hear this - she always came across as such a lovely, funny, warm-hearted person.

Very sorry to hear this, always seemed such a fun lady from her posts and so young as well. Condolences to her family.

I'm sure a justgiving page for CTK as CTK would be fine. The link that was up earlier would have outed her and MNHQ can't know if she would have wanted that.

Such sad news. Thinking of her family

Very sad news.

I've had meningitis and lived to tell the tale. I post a link to the Meningitis Research Fund on my social media every year on the anniversary.

I don't think we need a specific CTK fund to donate in the memory of someone who was a light in our lives. We can still donate. We can share links to the symptoms of meningitis, we can make ourselves aware, we can encourage our younger relatives to have the jabs now available to young adults, we can make a big difference.

I hope her nearest know what a spark she was on here but I wouldn't want to upset them either.

Big

I wanted to post here last night but I couldn't find the words.
I am so shocked by this awful news.
Her poor family.
She was amazing. Funny and kind.

Bless her and may she rest peacefully. Condolences to her family and loved ones.

Very sorry to hear this. What a shock. Her name is memorable because her posts were so warm. Can't imagine what pain her family must feel.

I really can't believe this. So sad. Jeez RIP CTK X

So sorry to hear this, I loved her mad threads and great style of writing . RIP CTK.

an apparently healthy woman in her 40's taken like this.

I did not think she was even that old, was she? I may be wrong, but I think I remember being surprised at how young she was.
