Jade Goody's passed away

[FeelingLucky]

Piratecat, is your point that Jade's dead so we aren't allowed to talk about how the public grieve? What, is there a respectful period of not-talking-about-anything-that-might-upset-the-grief-squad that I've missed?

What a horrible arsehole person you sound like NFK. I hope you never lose anyone close to you or are in the unfortunate position of knowing your going to die and leave your loved ones. Lets just hope everyone shows you the same compassion.

nfk or whatever your name is..........i have reported your disgusting thread. I have had the misfortune to lose my husband and my oldest son in the last fifteen years.. I hope you never have to go through it!! You are one sad excuse for a human being!!!!

NFK I feel sorry for you............ you must have such a low existance.

NKF - Off you fuck

RIP Jade. I hope your boys have happy and fufilling lives.

There are some really nasty people on here - makes me so sad that there are such unfeeling people in this world.

As I said earlier, most of the people criticising us that have expressed feeling sad are assuming that nobody here knew Jade or had ever met her. On a forum where people hide behind nicknames how nice of you to post such vile things where her family and friends might see them.

And another thing while I'm upset for those still criticising her for ignoring recall letters after an abnormal smear - would you not expect that in this day and age given the amount of tests and stuff she had done since then that the cancer would have been detected earlier instead of repeatedly missed? Because I would have expected them to be more likely to pick it up than another smear.

a very dear friend of mine was diagnosed with secondarys on her brain last week.she has 2 dc's aged 2 and 4.she has been given 3 months to live.
as a friend having to hear her tell me and having to watch her try and carry on as normal is heartbreaking.this will be the last mothers day she will have with her dc's.
i really feel for jades family and friends knowing in some respects what they've gone through.RIP jade x

Sorry to hear about yout friend mrstimlovejoy

I thank my lucky stars every day that my cancer scare turned out to be another serious medical condition. But although not terminal, may turn into cancer one day.

I'm watching her documetary on Living. I did not deal with my diagnosis with as much strength and courage as she did, and don't believe I would have had it been a terminal diagnosis.

I am laughing and crying at the same time. She is looking after everyone else and making sure they're happy when she is the one that needs looking after.

yes, sorry to hear that Mrstlj....
.

AM, yes the documentry is bizarre...I wanted to cry through most of it. Esp the wedding plans and day BUT most it was so light hearted I couldn't help but smile to myself..

When I watched it a few weeks ago I commented to dh about how surreal it all was..
Almost as though it was a soap opera iykiwm...I guess thats what makes today hard to believe. Doesn't seem real .

i guess polly, that the context of putting a link to a new thread you had started, about how the public deal with grief and putting it's 'title in a thread about someone dying', kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. Contextually, iyswim. In amongst a load of bickering, when hey, you never know maybe, just maybe some of us are very linked to the subject of cancer, and just maybe it seemed tasteless.

the progress of this thread is entirely predictable.

Which I think is very, very sad, Donnie...

How many of us, really, honestly, make a difference to the world? That doesn't mean our friends and family don't love us and cherish us and miss us...

I really don't get people who post on this thread nagatively.. why not pop along to any of the bereavement threads and take a pop at people there...

Does it matter that none of us KNEW Jade Goody personally? IMHO, I don't think so. I didn't know Princess Di either, but her death affected me.

Similarily, in generations before ours: Elvis / JFK... People don't need to KNOW someone to be affected by their death.

And, For me personally, I find it difficult that a mother (for this is MUMSnet) would not find even an ounce of compassion for a young family who have had their mother taken away.

I was no fan of Jade Goody's, but even I catch my breath at the love she so obviously has for her children and the devastation her children will feel today and in the future at her death.

There is something called decency which sadly too many mnetters appear to lack.

It's intersting that this is the only 'parenting forum' I've read today which has seen the descent into bitching and criticising over the death of Jade. I have had strong opinions over this story but I think now is the time and place for those who wish to express sadness/sorrow/grief to do so as they see fit without being slated by others.

this thread makes me very sad. I have considered avoiding mumsnet all together.

I thought this was meant to be a discussion forum. If this is meant to be a book of condolence for Jade it should be more explicit otherwise expect some people to say things you don't one hundred percent agree with. For anyone interested, whilst I wouldn't have wished her any harm, I didn't like Jade whilst she was alive, so it would be highly hypocritical to start saying wonderful things (and untrue) things about her now.

Or, Kingprawnjalfrezi, you could simply say NOTHING!!!!!!

Why people, who had nothing good to say in the first place, now feel compelled to say SOMETHING is totally beyond me.

Are you so sure, Kingprawnjalfezi, that your legacy to the world will be worthy? Atleast Jade's children can know that LOTS of women will get smears (and act on the results) because of Jade's story.

Yours will be.................................................................. ?????????????????

You're wrong there - I could always have said something about Jade - it just wouldn't have been particularly pleasant. I don't think she was a good role model for anyone, and I can't believe she was as famous as she was, and if her legacy is something she achieved through her ignorance and promiscuity, then I'm glad my legacy won't be anything like her's.

kingprawnjalfrezi

By the very words you have written, you are not a good role model for anyone.

I can appreciate that she wasn't the brightest penny in the barrel, but I think there is little evidence of her being promiscuious (unless you are blaming her cervical cancer on that????????)

Sometimes, the motto: 'When you don't have anything good to say...' really rings true.

What will your legacy be, BTW?

You seem to be one of those people who think they are so much better than she was.. but you just come across as a nasty, selfish person who thinks far too much of themselves.

I'm not expecting or asking you to change your opinion of anyone, but simply to respect others. Think of it as breastfeeding in public... you wouldn't like someone getting in your face about that, would you? Funny, how THAT would make you angry, yet a yong mothers life seems to be entertainment for you?????????????????????????????????????

don't start it up again kp.

So, jade got cervical cancer by being promiscious..? EVERYONE who has sex is at risk, not just those with many partners.

What a low thing to say.

So you knew that little of Jade yet seem to think she had many sexual partners..?
Maybe you should set time aside and read her biography. She prob had no more partners than most of us.

I kept away from this thread and most of mn today and I didn't like how this thread turned out yesterday, why can't people leave their condolances etc (like it started off)and not have comments by mindless folk.

Oh I don't think I'm better than her - I just couldn't understand why she was on telly, and apparently so popular - especially after the Shilpa Shetty furore.

OK, YOU don't understand it.

Sorry, does the WORLD revolve around you? Err... NO, it doesn't.

Move on.

Oh yes, and your legacy is????????????? Still didn't answer that one.
