Jade dies

[regulus]

I don't care much for 'media' Jade, but I do care for a human being like her dying, especially on a day like today. Although I've never followed her 'career' (made me LOL this morning when some presenter spoke about her 'career') or knew anything about her, I felt strangely gutted that she died.

If one person decides to go and get a checkup, and is diagnosed with cancer early because of Jade's media exposure, then it's worth any amount of mild annoyance to me. Because that person could be someone that I love.

RIP Jade, nobody should have to go through what you went through.

RIP. She was a great woman, deserving of media attention, undeserving the bad things that have been said about her. A great role model for generations to come. Her unique and horrible case was a real eye opener.


Oh... wait...

Read that first sentence as was getting ready to flame you hairless, then saw the ' Oh... wait... ' .

Anyway, RIP Jade, hope you find the peace in death that life didn't always give you.

I didn't much care for Jade's personality when she was launched to fame courtesy of Reality TV, but that's now totally irrelevant. I've been through the pain of losing family to cancer in their late-20s/early 30s. It just isn't fair and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Even with my experience I can only imagine what her family are going through now, especially on Mothers Day.

RIP Jade and deepest condolences to her family.

oh well,

she seemed like a ghastly person. I do feel sorry for her kids though.

Idiots of OcUK really shine in these threads, eh?

They'll grow up one day and be faced with a similar dilema and look back on some of the hurtfull things they've said in their past and wonder how sick they could have been.

Didn't know Jade personally, watched her on TV like many others from series 3 BB and onwards... I never frowned (as they say) with the things she did or said int he past as that was just dipsy Jade being Jade.

It's a damn shame that something like this has happened to a young woman that had years of life ahead of her, especially with her two young lads. I've been following the headlines through the papers recently, terrible disease and an awful way to go. As bad as it sounds and I hate saying it, but at least the girl made some good out of a seriously bad situation, with bringing attention to other women to be checked out regulary in order to catch a possible problem before it gets terminal.

Finally I feel for the ones close to her, her family, friends and especially her two young sons and on mothers day of all days. I just hope for the kids sake they have the love and support and the star in the sky for comfort.

RIP Jade.

Not really. Life's pretty miserable at the moment and I wouldn't say its getting much better.

I used to go around pretending to give a **** about random people I didn't know but when the **** hits the fan, you realise what your real priorities are and stop caring about irritating celebrities in the media.

Agreed , RIP Jade x

If Mr Brown had commented on some relevance to government policy it would have a place but I dont think he has mentioned any NHS scheme to catch this cancer early which I believe is disappointing for many

I also noticed this. It's almost as though he felt he had to say something because it's been on the front page of the tabloids for weeks now, but then didn't link it to any NHS future direction. Bit of a cop-out.

It's a shame that anyone dies so young and whilst I have no feelings at all on a woman I've never met, perhaps her death will help publicise the minimisation of risk that can be taken.

Final point. I have a great deal of time for Stephen Fry but to say "I suppose she was a kind of Princess D from the wrong side of the tracks." (source : BBC), is absolutely absurd. Unless it was a dismissive put down?

IPeople come on here (and probably other forums) to express their feelings of loss when there is no tangible reason to do so.

To be fair, I've yet to read a single post expressing a feeling of loss. There's a world of difference between loss and condolence, and most on here are offering the latter not the former. The family do indeed have my condolences, for their loss, especially those poor children.

Thousands of people die every day, it's true. I lost my uncle aged 39 to brain cancer (healthy to dead in four weeks flat) two years ago, as I'm sure have many people on here in one way or another. That's why we offer condolences; because we understand and appreciate that person's loss and know it could have been any of us.

RIP Jade and my sincere condolences to the family. For the record I didn't much care for her media presence in life, but that doesn't detract from her protracted and untimely death. I'd wish any fellow human being well in such circumstances. Wouldn't you?

Absolutely. Such an odd thing to say, particularly from such an intelligent man.

Unless it was a dismissive put down?

There may have been a touch of irony, but I doubt he had any ulterior motives.

Would depend upon the human being, Josef Fritzl for instance...no. Jon Venables and Robert Thompson...no.

If Jade never went on Big brother no-one would know who she was except close family. I hate it when stuff like this happenes. Media at it's best.

Sorry to hear she has died though. But do you really believe the newspapers or media?

 

[sargatanas]

Shame she died, but it is funny how everyones opinion of her changed the second they learned she had cancer. People are all too ready to form opinions from what they see on TV and read in papers.

I don't think people's opinions of her have changed. They just recognise the tragedy of a 27 year old dying of cancer.

RIP to everyone that have died today.

Bottom line is that i have never met her, she hasn't done anything worthy to society, regardless of age or even of her personality, if i start to spend time on everyone who die young, of cancer, war, famine, i won't have time to breath.

It speaks volumes about our society that we start to care about a random person who is well known for being loud, thick and questionably racist.

Her boys will be fine, they are well taken care of, money, a father by their side, i am sure they'll be fine.

You may be right, but the real problem is people creating opinions of people who they have only seen on TV(most likely edited too) and in newspapers trying to change your opinion on things.

I try as best as I can not to judge anyone before I speak to them myself.

ive just got the first chain text asking me to 'send this txt 2 10 people 2 show ur repesct'.

I'm thinking slightly more about my own mother who died of cancer. i couldnt really care less about those sorts of emails or texts anyway but my god that has angered me coming from a friend who should have known better.
