Those poor children, so tiny. My heart goes out to her family.

Chelvis · 07/04/2014 20:05

I just can't stop thinking about her poor sons. My two daughters are very close in age to her two, and I've just cuddled them to sleep. I'll be there if they wake. Her boys will never have that again, never really know or remember it. They must just be confused and so desperate for her to comfort them. RIP. Tragic, whatever has happened.

From her interview that was rehashed in the DM, her MIL sounds lovely.

How sad she said so recently, that she never got over her parents divorce.

Joules68 · 07/04/2014 20:07

her poor husband. I feel for him right now

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 07/04/2014 20:08

I can't stop thinking about the boys either. She was a co-sleeper. Sad

Dappydongle · 07/04/2014 20:08

Surely the DM did the headline on purpose to be ambigious. They are such fucking bastards.

IWorshipSatin · 07/04/2014 20:09

I'm truly saddened about this, I don't 'do' slebs and I barely know who anyone is, but she entered my radar via This Morning and I thought how together she seemed, how clever and witty. I loved Paula on The big Breakfast and was gutted when she died too.

I've a massive soft spot for Bob. His statement seems so composed and erudite in light of the terrible news today.

WireCat · 07/04/2014 20:09

My stomach flipped when I heard. The poor girl Shock. Her poor family & her poor babies. How utterly horrendous. x

Lighthousekeeping · 07/04/2014 20:12

I often wondered if she was in here.

Lighthousekeeping · 07/04/2014 20:12

On

RosebudTheCat · 07/04/2014 20:12

RIP Peaches. Her poor boys.

Anger is never a reasonable reaction nor is it particularly empathic. It also doesn't require facts as anyone who has faced an unreasonable angry person can attest to. Still its the first thing I felt on hearing this awful news, I too sincerely hope it is misplaced for the sake of all the poor families involved.

AnnRuleRules · 07/04/2014 20:17

SquidgyMummy, that is so beautiful and I too hope (believe) she is now in her mother's arms. I can't stop crying...years ago I read an interview with Bob where he described Peaches as a bright, white light. She really truly was.

I don't know why I feel so affected...maybe because I remember her being born and she had her babies when I had mine.

WeAreEternal · 07/04/2014 20:17

I had the pleasure of meeting peaches at a charity function last year, and it really was a pleasure, she really was as lovely as she seems. We had a great chat about AP and fashion and she was just so sweet and down to earth.
I was looking forward to this years event and hoping to see her there again.
I was so shocked when I heard the news I thought it must be an April fool or a mistake.

I'm heartbroken for her family and especially her sons.

I think people should stop speculating, for all anyone knows she could have simply slipped in the shower, it's completely unknown and frankly it doesn't really matter how she died, it certainly won't make a difference to how desperately sad it is.

FatimaLovesBread · 07/04/2014 20:18

She had mentioned reading mumsnet on her instagram before

Theonlyoneiknow · 07/04/2014 20:18

What sad news :-(

playinginthesandpit · 07/04/2014 20:19

Like many others who have commented on here, my stomach also flipped, got goosebumps and a shiver went down my spine when my friend told me the news of Peaches death this afternoon. Also like many others have commented, I don't usually get too upset about celebrities passing away (however sad) but this has really got to me. She did seem like a really nice, "with it", sparky young woman and it is just so sad that she leaves her two young sons. She clearly adored them. I'm really sad about this and have actually cried this evening as it has really affected me. She was very young and I just feel for her family and of course her little babies. My heart goes out to them Sad

Emotions are not one dimensional - we rarely feel one emotion in isolation so lets stop judging people for feeling the way they feel. This is an extraordinary tragedy that will trigger a variety and mixture of emotions. None of them are wrong.

peppapigmustdie · 07/04/2014 20:22

I have been crying over this and really am not one for spectator grief usually but this has really struck me. The poor baby boys, she patently adored them and her husband. Bob Geldofs statement is beautiful and heartbreaking I have no idea how he is composed enough to so eloquently put together a statement like that.

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 07/04/2014 20:22

Emotion and speculation are two very different things.

TheNightIsDark · 07/04/2014 20:22

Poor girl and poor family. RIP.

Joules68 · 07/04/2014 20:26

I remember feeling like this about princess dianas boys....then jade goody's 2 boys.....just a sadness for them. they wont have a single memory of her

Pimpf · 07/04/2014 20:27

How terribly sad for all concerned.

Agreed speculation is not helpful right now, 2 babies have lost their mum, no matter what circumstances, just terrible
