For me I really do not care about the why's or the wherefores.
I started this thread to, well to offer some kind of sympathy. Obviously sympathy for a woman, a young woman at that with young kids, does not bode well with some.
Shame on you I say. I am a hard nosed git at the best of times but....even I can offer this. My God what is wrong with some people here? The woman is very ill, possibly going to die. If people cannot offer sympathy for that, then I really dispell of the human race.
Your post was typed with compassion and sincerity from one human being about another.
I commend you.
Nice post Kent , its does make you realise whats what. I for one send my support and all the strength I could give to help any man woman or child beat the fucking thing.
As you say she aint had an easy paper round up to now and she has fight in her so all power to her and anyone else in her predicament.
multiple cancers have got to be the scariest thing to hear off your doctor,and at 27,with kids,devastating.
think about it and have some humanity
then i`m sure you can relate to her pain
Jane Tomlinson died of cancer.
She was very much in the public eye, in our area nearly daily.
The young man whos name escapes me, who started a blog on the net about his fight with cancer on the internet.
He was very much in the public eye.
Jade was already in the publics eye, by various TV programes, and magazines.
What is the difference between her and the other people?
Is it because she is percieved to be not a good person by the media, and a money maker?
We wish all well, who are in a fight for life, personally.
I think until faced with a situation like this who are we really to know what we would do as decisions made at the time when all rational thought flies out of the window. Rationally I suppose we could all think what we might do, how we would handle ourselves faced with the same dilemmas, but then mixed that with thousands of other things going on in your head, can we all say we would make the right choice.
I for one could not say I would not make mistakes, but then I wouldn’t have to worry as they would go to my grave with me.
I have been faced with making rash decisions under the stain of mourning when all rational thinking was gone, do I regret it no.
At the time it was right for me for the sake of my daughter who had gone.
When we find out death is near, we morn immediately we start planning the best way for ourselves to deal with, how one person deals with it might be totally different from another, who are we to decide what is right for one.
we have been close to cancer all to often with family and friends this last year alone four people i can think of off the top of my head... one survived ...we wish jade goody and everyone else all the luck we can offer and our deepest sympathies to anyone that has been or is being affected by this terrible condition...in what ever way they choose to deal with it..
I don’t think we should be here to judge anyone that faced with the same set of circumstances really don’t know how we would react.
We don’t have the media to our advantage, I think the media stinks to be honest they would swoop to such low levels as to make money for their own gain, might be why I saw years ago their tactless approach in the way most report on human suffering.
I am not a selfish person but would I use the media if I had the opportunity like Jade has?
Money has never been the driving factor in my life, I don’t put as much importance on it as other things that are more important, but yes I would use them, would I feel ashamed not one bit.
How do we know Jade isn’t donating some money to charity?
How do we really know anything to be fact?
I don’t read as I have said before newspapers I don’t want to be fed one side of a story, or bits they care to print.
I want to think if put in the same position what I would do and feel with a clear blank mind without some reporter feeding it with what I see, could be a load of rubbish.
Maybe I am just cynical.
Yes Whips I agree. My comment to Steve was way out of order, and Steve I appologise.
Liked or disliked, she still a daughter and a mum, she passed away this morning around 3am, what a day for her son's to loose a mum xx
I didn't know her, and didn't particularly like the persona she portrayed, but feel very sad for her boys, especially on a day such as today.
