Jade Goody - how can you not show empathy?
I’m fed up reading posts from people who think that it’s a good idea to have a swipe at a young mother in a tragic situation. There’s a lot of talk about a lack of dignity – well each person handles things in different ways, so let’s not judge or say there’s right or wrong way to display your emotions and grief. Jade has a right to choose how she wants to deal with it and you have the right not to read her articles or switch off the TV when her face appears. Yes, Jade’s been lippy and thoughtless in the past, but to some degree, haven’t we all? Some people are criticising her saying she’s trying to make a buck out of her illness. Her job involves being in the public eye and remember, she has two small children to think about. If she can make some money which will secure their futures, should the unthinkable happen, then all credit to her for having the sense to plan ahead despite the bitterness shown toward her. Come down from your ivory towers and get some common sense - she’s just doing her job as long as she can and getting paid for it to secure her kids. So my message to Jade is, go girl and keep strong.
