Jade Goody's passed away

[FeelingLucky]

I did not know jade and i did not always agree with some of the things she did or said during her career in the media, but as a mother myself i feel deep sadness for this young woman who has lost her life, and for her children being left motherless on mothers day, of all days. its called empathy, but its seems some of you are lacking in it, and how sad for you to be unable to either post your sympathy or stay away entirely.

My friend has been dating a man whose dd has lost her mum to cancer. She is only 8 years old. My friend adores this little girl and felt really tearful when she recievd a 'Happy Kind Lady Day' card which was made at school. Sniff sniff

Must remember the next time I see a bereavement thread on mumsnet to check before posting my sympathy's that that posters child/husband/wife/mother/father or who ever had a degree, a good upbringing, had never said or done anything stupid in their life and I had known them in real life...as it would seem to offer sympathy over the loss of someone you don't know is the wrong thing to do here.

My final remark here is that a young mother died, that is sad, her death was no doubt a great loss to her friends family and especially her children.
I am glad I have children and I am here to tuck them in to bed tonight after moaning at them to do their homework and eat their greens.
Life is precious and a lot shorter then we think and for some too short indeed.

I am not grieving for jade, I am sorry for her familys loss, I think it is sad she will not see her children grow, date, marryu have their own children.
I think the people who have been abusive here and on other Jade threads should look at themself and wonder where all that hate for a women who had done them no wrong came from, and maybe when they think about what it is that is wrong with them will see that there is nothing wrong with expressing sympathy and sadness that a young life has ended so soon.

Rest in peace Jade, I think you were a better person then some of the people who post here.

Excellent posts prettyfly 1. Why people want to start an arguement on here is beyond me! There are many debates we could have regarding reality tv, the 'meedja' and 'slebs' and the wrongs and rights of it, The 'Diana' effect and public outporings of grief are an interesting development in our culture, but this is not the place to debate them! It is sad that so many women and people die, and when its brought to our attention we react, as afforementioned, Comic Relief! and various other charities that we respond to when its brought to our attention!

If you're in the public eye for whatever reason and have a tragic story people will feel sad and want to express sympathy, we are not "weeping and wailing" we're sad. Sympathy and empathy are nice qualities in human beings and motivate people to change things.

The age limit for smears may be reduced due to Jades case this is a good thing. Year 8 girls are the first cohort to be vaccinated against Cervical cancer and jade was someone thay knew of and could relate to, this is a good thing, Jade set up the jade Goody trust to support other cancer sufferers this is a good thing.

She came from an awful background most of us can barely imagine, so to look down on her and throw the racist card (even though she has mixed heritage)on the day of her death is disrespectful and cruel

I'm a year younger than Jade - I can not begin to imagine having the news that I have months to live given to me.....

I feel sad for her children, for her mother, her family and her friends ... I hope they can find some peace soon

never realised how many unpleasant people post here

I've started another thread to discuss the grief thing in general as I understand why people think it's inappropriate on this thread.

well i just knew how this thread would go when i started reading it.

nevermind, it's just the same old shite you come to expect on here.

RIP Jade.

how nice for you Polly, lets debate that, when the poor woman has only died today.

Still feel sad for her mum and her children. Went to see my mum today, she had an operation to remove cists a couple of years ago and luckily she has remained healthy.

Such a shame that this thread has been pounced upon by those unable to contain their need to pick people apart for what they believe is mawkish reaction. Very Sad .

If it irritates you that people want to talk about it then fine, it irritates you. Can't you just somehow learn to control this bizzare need to moan on about how it irritates you in threads which are clearly not started for that reason. At the very least just go and start yet another thread to do it in, or better still use one of the ones that already exist and leave this one for people who want to express sorrow?

ofgs

I think that's utterly callous and uncalled for NKF... how sick

i doubt that very much nkf.....

really vile post NFK.

NFK - of course you are posting for effect. How very grown up of you. Proud of yourself? I expect so. Round of applause for you for finding such a crappy way to entertain yourself on such a beautiful day. Idiot! But you know that, don't you.

Pass the ruler Nabster

I am not grieving for Jade, I didn't personally know her, but I am very sad that a young mother has died and her 2 little boys are left without a mother. I am grieving for my friend and neighbour and her children and husband.

The point I am trying ot make is this. Up at school, I have had many many questions from people who didn't know my friend well, wanting to know the details, the ins and outs of what happened, speculation as to why it happened. This is exactly what is happening with Jade Goody.

The fact is, it doesn't matter what happened, why it happened, or what kind of person they were, they have sadly passed away and their poor children are left without their mothers. That is what matters. Nothing else.

so easy to be a keyboard warrior,fighting talk and vitriol hiding behind a pc.

nice

Nice one NFK.
