MrsFreud - it is the real world, a mother dying quickly and leaving 2 children behind. 'famous' or not, for whatever reason, it's still a horrible thing. Yes millions die every day. Why feel sympathy for one but not the other.

Lockets

I was not bothering him, as my defence will testify.

A camera, up a kilt, .............and the problem is ?????

I hate reality TV and NEVER watch it, but dc4 has pushed me over the edge!

Divineintervention · 27/02/2009 23:59

Never maybe the wrong word.

dontgive2shoites4daftpricks · 28/02/2009 00:04

you are in denial. You need help.

hannahlouhoo · 28/02/2009 00:07

I always thought (i have no expericance of this) that you dont come back out of hospice? she just looks so frail, i do think this is it for her.

dont mean to be ghoulish!!

people go in for respite or to have meds adjusted

2pt4kids · 28/02/2009 08:46

I feel sad about the situation, mostly I think because it reminds me how vulnerable we all are and how any of us could be in this situation one day.
It makes me think how utterly awful it would be to leave my children behind and knowing that she is going through that in reality makes me feel very very sorry for her.

Pristina · 28/02/2009 09:26

Always the same old posters, popping up to reprimand everyone about "competitive sadding", being "maukish" etc while they are busy doing much more worthwhile constructive things with their lives than joining in on such a thread . No comprehension at all that sometimes it helps to share feelings of sadness, even if they don't know the people involved directly, and that maybe the people involved do derive comfort from the sadness of strangers (didn't see so much of this on the Ivan Cameron thread strangely).

Lemontart · 28/02/2009 09:36

I agree totally pristina.

While I did not share the nation?s grief with Diana, I am deeply touched by Jade?s tragic story and wish her well. I am sure part of it is connecting with her as a mum with young children and is so downright normal in all her own eccentric, slightly nutty ways. I have never met her and my knowledge of her has been all filtered via media BUT I believe my own feelings of sadness and pity, my wishes and thoughts for her and her family are still valid and worth expressing.

I know a couple of people at the end of their life fighting a losing battle with cancer. It is awful to witness and very sad. However, both have had the opportunity to raise a family, live a full life and feel like they are ready to go. Jade may have a lot to celebrate in her short life, but there is still an undeniable tragedy in all this and I resent the thought that I am mawkish or wallowing in celebrity grief because I connect and empathise with her and her family at this time. It is called compassion and should not be belittled.

'While I did not share the nation?s grief with Diana, I am deeply touched by Jade?s tragic story and wish her well.'

And Diana wasn't a 'normal' person?

She didn't even get to say goodbye. She was no age at all and her life wasn't exactly a bed of roses - a jerk for a father, a mother who ran away (and lost two children as full-term babies), a very nasty and public custody battle over her and her siblings which she was well old enough to remember, a stepmother she hated, married at barely 20 to a two-timing jerk who treated her like shit and forced to put up with it in front of the entire world, depression and eating disorder and self-harming, a brother who turned out just like his dad and refused to even let you stay on his property when you were mental and out of your head and needed a place to stay.

Oh, and she wasn't exactly the most educated person in the world, either. She never truly finished high school before she was packed off by her father to be groomed to marry a git like Charles.

Kimi · 28/02/2009 09:48

I feel so sad for her and her children.
I thought she was loud and common on the first BB but by the end I wanted her to win.
She came from a scummy background and she did better for herself and better for her children.
I have never thought calling that lazy over absorbed woman Shilpa pappodom was remotely racist, Jade was a scape goat for PC nutters.

I hope she has as long as she needs to sort out her affairs and the care of her children.
I hope she has a painless end.

Poor woman, no one deserves this.

myredcardigan · 28/02/2009 09:51

I think it's also important to make a distinction between feeling sad and feeling sad for her. I am not sad. I am not and will not grieve for her because I don't know her so how can I possibly feel her loss?

However, it is perfectly reasonable, in fact human nature to feel compassion towards a young mother facing death and the thought of not seeing her children grow up. And compassion for those children about to lose the centre of their world.

I wouldn't want to engage in lengthy discussion about it, cry over it or pick over the details, that is OTT. But to express a little compassion and sympathy in the way we did on the Cameron thread is actually respectful.

2shoes · 28/02/2009 09:56

oh please stop comparing this with the DC thread, there is no caomparison, how can you compare a 6 yr old and a grown woman??

Well said pristina, your first line about the same old faces reprimanding about "competitive sadding", being "maukish" summed up my thoughts exactly.

mm22bys · 28/02/2009 10:14

I am very sad for Jade, what she is going through, her boys, and the rest of her family and friends.

No I have never met her.

I have shed a tear.

If that makes me mawkish so be it.

Yes I know that countless thousands are going through what she is going through, but with Jade, or anyone else in the public eye, there is a public face to the suffering.

It could so easily be any of us in the tragic situation she is in (as others have said, there but by the grace of whoever).

expat - I think my point about Diana was badly expressed. I meant that I could not relate and empathise particularly at the time: I was in my early twenties, selfish brat, no kids of my own, so caught up in my own world etc that my empathy was sadly lacking. Not something I was proud of or that I now think everyone who was upset was silly/over emotional etc. Quite the opposite, I mean that while I could not empathise very well back then, becoming a mother and growing up a lot has made me feel more connected with others and more able to empathise and feel genuinely emotional about people?s lives that I have no direct contact - like in Jade?s situation.

2shoes, I disagree. Why not draw the comparison? Both are desperately sad situations that have touched many people. Of course they are different in many ways but to suggest one is more worthy of our sympathy or feelings turns me cold.

FFS.

I've heard it all now.

Are you serious?! Ivan Cameron was a 6-year-old little boy whose life was full of pain but who was still a joy to those around him. A little boy who was never able to communicate with others what he was feeling inside. A child who spent more than is fair amount of time in hospitals.

It turns me cold that people actually compare him, a little child who had complex neurological problems, to a grown woman.

FGS this country's really gone to the dogs!

GypsyMoth · 28/02/2009 10:27

There are also 2 little boys in the jade scenario.......their little worlds are being rocked.
