Yup... regardless of feelings towards Jade, that's why the publicity is a good thing. One of my roomies at work yesterday made an appointment to have a smear test done after she told us she'd not been for 14 years. :shock:
To me, that's just stupidity. When there are tests out there to make sure you're okay then you should take them and not ignore the results.
We all feel for Jade and anyone in her situation. But its not just her is it? the latter part of her life has been a media mechanism at work. Like many other celebrities she has come to depend on it for a variety of things. So naturally she sought out their 'help'.
I find myself reminded of celebrities by the media. Its all part of the machine. If she hadn't come into our lives by the media we would have been none the wiser.
She could have stayed out of the limelight if she chose to, but it must have the strongest influence over her even now. If its the comfort she needs then its hers to have.
weather we feel sadness at Jades situation is not really an issue.
Everyone shows sadness/deals with a sad situation in their own way
You can care without feeling sad,
you may be grateful its not you or one of your loved ones,
you can be so choked up with grief by feeling "what would i do in her situation, knowing I was dying" that you actually cry, and it affects your own daily life
you can be glad its her cos u really dont like her and think shes got what she deserved
you can really not give a flying shit either way as you have had more than enough suffering in your life already
you can just block all your negative feelings and feel there but for the grace of god go I
we are all in relatively good health (hopefully), have a roof over our heads and food and drink on the table, im sur people who are starving in africa, couldt give two hoots about Jade Goody shuffling off this mortal coil....doesnt make them cruel and heartless, just means their own troubles are worse.
Yes Im sad shes so young and will leave kids behind, my own mum nearly did the same thing as her and not go back for a third call for an abnormal smear, but my dad persuaded her to go, to discover that she had advanced CIN 3 cervical cancer, and the GP told her to go to the hospital there and then, and going to that appointment is what saved her life.
I do feel sad that there are two kids who will grow up without a mum, but at the same time glad its not me knowing I wont see my kids grow up.
Minxy, good for you being able to go and congratulate a friend when losing your baby, all powere to you....Im afraid that I am not so magnanimous and indeed did shy away from pregnant friends cos I couldnt bear to see them with their growing bumps after I lost my baby....does it make me cruel and uncaring.....no....just means I deal with things in a different way.
Im sure that Hitlers mother loved him a lot, even tho to the rest of the world he was an evil so and so who people wanted dead, Im sure someone shed a tear when ted Bundy was put to death.......feelings are all relative and subjective, along with opinions and morals.....doesnt make us any less or more of a person.
I'd just like to thank some people on here for respecting my feelings on this matter...they still haven't changed by the way!
Hope they all had a great day!
Lostie.......she got wed today!
Reminds me of that film One Wedding and a Funeral.
Apologies, dont want to cause offence!
Been there 5 months ago with Dad, we did the humour way, worked for us, not for all!!
Sozz.
