Jade Goody's passed away

[FeelingLucky]

It is really sad for any children to be deprived of and to lose their mum like this and also for a young woman to die so young from this awful disease before her lefe had even really begun. But do not kid yourselves you are grieving.You are joining the mass ott hysteria that the media have fuelled.You can't grieve for someone you didn't know but you can feel for her friends and family who really have lost someone and are grieving

I feel sad for her mum as well as her boys.

Do we really need a dictionary definition of grieving? People feel what they feel.

Desperately sad. RIP Jade, thoughts and prayers for her and her family.

Blimey there are some nasty people on MN.

Feeling very sad for Jade's family today, particularly Bobby and Freddy .

I didn't here the news until this afternoon when I was driving in the car. I looked in the mirror and saw dd fast asleep and could not imagine the pain that Jade must have experienced knowing that she would never see her boys grow-up. The loss of a young mother on Mother's Day is tragic.

I don't understand why some people on a parenting forum are having such trouble with empathising with her and her family tbh.

most people are expressing sadness rather than 'grieving' as far as i can see. There seems to be rather a lot of competitive cynicism going on here.

How very sad people are still having a pop even tho the girl is dead!.To me its not about if you liked her or that she was famous,for me its about a young mother who has left two children behind.I would feel this sadness about anyone being ill and passing away.Do you have to personally know them to feel it was sad and tragic?.I think as mothers we can only begin to imagine how awful it was for her to know she would see her children grow up.To be honest if you have,nt got anything nice to say why post anything.I really get put off coming on here,yes everyone has there opinion but people can be bloody horrible at times

Not exactly a book thread of condolence...

And for the nasty people on here hope you counted yourself lucky that you actually got to spend mothers day with your children!! something Jade did,nt get to do,mothers day will always be a very sad day for those two boys

here here snuffy. I think the reason Jade has touched so many of us is because it seems such a "there but for the grace of god go I" situation.

missmaidamess, my dictionary defination was given as it was comment further up that grief is not the right word or feeling..or whatever it was that was said.

I purely gave the definition to show that grief is many things.

Im off though now before this turns into more than it was intended to. I will think about and remember Jade in my own way and not involve certain mner's.

Sad sad sad....I guess we are all mothers and yet some people here can be so hurtful.

I have just logged onto MN thinking I bet there is a scrap occuring on the Jade Goody thread.

since when did passing comment on the aledged grief of those who didn't know Jade translate into jade bashing?

This is my issue with the whole public grief thing - it becomes less about the person the grief is apparently for and more about the individuals who are "grieving".

I have not bashed jade on this thread. I said in my first post that it was very sad for her children. I wouldn't wish a death like that on my worst enemy.

A woman is dead. Two young children are without their mother.

So those who are getting indignant about how people are reacting to your apparent sadness might remember that. Because it is not about you or your feelings.

When you see and support someone going through true grief you realise that this sort of thing is ridiculous and like wannabe says has little to do with the person at all.

I also feel for Jades mother, to lose a child (however old) is surly the worst pain in the world, and to lose your child on a day when children and mothers of all ages are supposed to express love and thanks make it more painful, she will have to face every mothers day without her for years to come, just as Jades sons will have to face mothers day without their mother.

I really think personal attacks on this poor woman say more about the poster then Jade herself, Jade might not have had a degree but she was smart enough to see her chance and take it, she made a lot of money and helped some people along the way, she did not ever forget where she came from and she did not become a fake person.

I find her death very sad, I feel for her family and friends, I looked at my own children today and gave thanks that I have them and they have me.

Today I was driving watching people run around frantically clutching flowers. I then thought how sad a day it must be for all children who have lost their mums.

good post noddy

You know, I'm not without sympathy to wannabe's position on this, but hasn't this all been said a million times on other threads?
What is the point in restating that different views over and over again, especially when the girl died hours ago, and her children are probably beside themselves as we type?

For all the talk about the media coverage being distasteful and OTT, which I thoroughly agree with, I'm afraid I think that rehashing an argument on a thread announcing a death is pretty damn distasteful too...

so why should a thread be started at all then, allowing people to pass on their thoughts and feelings....

because then by stating our comments and thoughts we are trying to put ourselves 1st...

Whatever....

My personal way of bringing this to a close today for myself anyway is too give my a son a big hug and be thankful for every day I have with him and sad for everyone for whom that has been taken away.

In honour of a young woman who died in very tragic circumstances, I am calling time on my involvement on this thread to go downstairs and paint pictures with my boy, give him his bath and read him his story. Because i suspect she and her family would prefer that. I hope both sides of the viewpoint on here agree and will do the same!
