Her poor husband and babies! Sad

bauhausfan · 07/04/2014 21:06

Aw how sad and how terrible that history is repeating itself with more motherless children in that family :( What a waste of potential. I feel so sad for their whole family.

devoniandarling · 07/04/2014 21:06

My heart goes out to her sons and husband and her family. As a pp said, her epic battle with Katy Hopkins on This Morning will always stick in my mind when thinking of Peaches, a young mum who wasn't afraid to speak her mind.

Speculation on how she died is bound to happen, but please people, lets remember her family are grieving.

PourquoiTuGachesTaVie · 07/04/2014 21:06

So sad and shocking, her poor babies.

I'm the same age as Peaches. I became aware of her when her mum died as I had just started watching the news and it struck a chord with me because we're so close in age. I now have dc only a little bit older than her babies. So tragic.

Yes kilmuir she was indeed an icon of mine when it came to parenting.

Foxsticks · 07/04/2014 21:08

I'm so sad and shocked to hear of Peaches death. The statement released by the Geldofs was heartbreaking, but what a beautiful dedication to an adored family member. I too can't stop thinking of those poor boys, what will they be thinking without their mum tonight who always cuddled them in their sleep? Sad

I have a lot of respect for her as a mother, and the parenting choices she made. She obviously adored her family and becoming a mum and wife was the making of her and from what I saw she was bloody good at it!

RIP Peaches.

That was the closest I have seen dh to crying over a celebrity, when I told him. We were both big fans of her dad in his heyday, also of her mum in her youth. It is awful that one family has suffered so much. So many losses.

RIP Peaches.

When I told DS1(19 and liked her a lot) he sat open mouthed. He says he hopes she died of natural causes because it will raise awareness of young people dying prematurely.

I cried a bit for her boys. All the things they are going to miss out of with her. All the things she is going to miss out of with them. Its just far, far too sad to think about. Sad

And some of the posts on this thread (and similar ones on the Tony Benn thread) are the only things which make me ashamed of being on MN.

Northernlurker · 07/04/2014 21:16

Oh I can't believe this. This is awful. what about her poor babies and her sisters. How can they stand such loss? I'm horrified.

tribpot · 07/04/2014 21:17

What an appalling loss for this family. What a terrible day this must have been for them.

MizTiggle · 07/04/2014 21:17

I'm shocked by this. She seemed so settled and together. Fell in love with her completely after she owned Hopkins on This Morning!

GruffalosWife · 07/04/2014 21:18

Very sad to hear this. Was refreshing to see someone young discuss parenting and be challenging to others, and not just be a clothes horse. As a mother to young boys, words cannot express how I feel for them now. RIP Peaches.

Fakebook · 07/04/2014 21:21

I just remembered a pic she'd posted on Instagram a few months ago of herself in the bath with her son and a hand around her neck that she claimed was a ghost hand. That pic was chilling.

broodylicious · 07/04/2014 21:22

fake I thought about that too. Very creepy.

loveliesbleeding1 · 07/04/2014 21:23

I am thinking of the Geldof-Cohens tonight, such a dreadful shock, poor little boys, poor bob, her poor sisters, poor husband, heartbreaking for them all.

My 1 year old has had sleeping problems lately and I cuddle him to sleep each night and when he wakes in the middle of the night. The thought of him waking up and not knowing where is mummy is making me cry. I am devastated for those two little boys.

Northernlurker · 07/04/2014 21:31

The babies will have to live with the loss and not knowing her which is terrible of course but the pain for her father and his partner and her sisters and her husband. It's simply staggering.

slartybartfast · 07/04/2014 21:35

so sad for Bob,
and all the family
RIP peaches.

ParanoidLucy · 07/04/2014 21:38

That's so sad Sad

slithytove · 07/04/2014 21:39

And bob having to bury his daughter :( a husband burying a wife at 25. It's all awful. His tribute was lovely but heartbreaking.

cafecito · 07/04/2014 21:41

Utterly tragic, sad news - a shining personality, beautiful, talented and an incredible mother Sad

pumpkinsweetie · 07/04/2014 21:43

Sad So sad, so young and her two small boys will grow up without their mummy.
Rip Peachs, my thoughts are with the family x

shallweshop · 07/04/2014 21:46
