Peaches geldof dead

[louloutheshamed]

Just been on Bbc news

That's a wonderful blog post, Rindercella. Thanks for sharing it.

I Had a friend who died of a heart attack at 21, its strange to say but i never imagined her being older iyswim. so so sad, still shocked by this.

Back2Two - it matters for the family to know how and why she died and that is right. What is wrong is some of the awful speculation where people are hinting at things and posting as if they are facts.

It will matter how she died to her children though. I said earlier in this thread that until I heard otherwise I would remain convinced that it was either a tragic accident or an underlying health problem. Because I am convinced she wouldn't have taken any risks which meant she might leave them. I also pointed out that there was a lot speculation surrounding the death of Stephen Gateley and drugs which turned out to be completely unfounded and very hurtful to his family.

It looks like this death may well be natural causes too now. In a way this is a huge relief as it will be a much lighter burden for her children to bear growing up.

You are so wrong! It actually does matter how she died rindercella

It will matter to lots of people.

Everlong

Back2Two, it is actually the business of no-one how Peaches died, except her very closest family and friends. And in fact, the end result is still the same to them, someone they love dearly has died. Speculation by strangers is both unnecessary and unsavoury.

The end result is the same, she is gone, but the way she died will of course matter to her family.

To all of Peaches family and friends who are posting on this thread, I am so sorry. Of course how she died is important to you. It could have long term implications on your own health and also how you learn to live with your tragic loss. To everyone else on this thread who does not know Peaches at all and who are speculating on how she died, you are nothing but grief vultures, hoping for a tasty morsel of gossip.

My dad died suddenly and unexpectedly 8 months ago.
Talking to mum one minute, gone the next.
Dh and I performed CPR to no avail.
Turns out he died of what's known as "sudden cardiac death"
It doesn't really matter though.
What matters is that He is gone, and our family is destroyed.
RIP peaches - and my sincere condolences to the family.
Grief is a brutal business, I can't imagine what it must be like having to grieve in the public eye.

What everlong said. All that is known is what her father said, they will never see her again.

((((ever)))

We shall ever see our children again.

My father died when I was 8. A friend recently lost her father, she is 45 said "it is easier for kids isn't it". I didn't say anything because it wouldn't have helped and she was grieving. I don't know how many times I have heard it. , some months later she called, apologiesed and said how incredibly hard grief is as an adult never mind a child, she didn't mean to be so dismissive. But it is easy to project innocence onto children, that they don't understand so can't feel the same way. Big mistake.

My fathers death at the age of 34 has shaped me in ways I am still finding out about. Sometimes I hope it was just a story someone told you, that the truth was something else...but it isn,t. An event like that in childhood turns life/reality in a very strange thing indeed. Lost count of the therapists

It seems unbelievable sometimes no matter how much time passes.

I met an old lady in Feb., turns out she had lost her son, age 7, 45 years ago.

She said, 'Just when you get you head round it as much as you possibly ever will, you are closer to them than you are away. I will not have another 45 years without him.'

My husband lost his dad when he was 10, we saw cini-film of them recently, he as a small boy and his Dad a young man. He's been dead longer than he was alive now but he still misses him and grieves for the life he didn't have with him. It breaks my heart, he cannot think or talk about him without having to fight back the grief.

It's unbearably sad. I feel so sorry for her family. It was shocking enough when Paula died, but Peaches was so young.

My father died when he was 25. It is not only a loss of a person but of something more encompassing than that- a loss of the whole of that person, memories, time, normalcy- a loss of self. It can carry a very heavy burden that is so ill acknowledged and easily dismissed, let alone surviving the fractured reality that remains. I have also lost a child and the concept of forever is frankly unbearable no matter how many years pass - it has also profoundly affected their surviving very young sibling. for others in a similar position with children affected by loss even if they were very young at the time I really recommend contacting winstons wish

I agree Back2Two. Moreover I think her death DOES concern other peo

Sorry pressed too soon. It does concern other people. Because it dependent on how she died there may very well be serious questions to be asked of the press and how they treat women.

There is speculation that Peaches diet may have been a contributing factor in her death. From a very young age Peached weight was closely watched and she was severely criticized if she put on even a tiny amount. I don't think she was ever really overweight but if she put on a few pounds she took a massive amount of flack, even when just a teenager.

Yes this is just speculation at the moment, but I think there may very well be questions to be asked of the press and that concerns us all.
