Peaches Geldof dies age 25!!!

[Bad Ash]

Whats the harm in thinking for at least 1 of those 1000's who've died?

Why pick the slightly famous one? Pick one of the others.

 

[The Truth]

But Nibble isn't having a go at Bob or anyone else who personally knew Peaches that are legitimately grieving. He's referring to the people who didn't know her but decided to display some 'grief' on Facebook. If you can't see the difference between those situations then you're going to struggle to find the truth.

So everyone on NSC knew Nibbles mum? If not, were they attention seeking too?

Did I find it sad a 25 year old mother died ?, yes, did I say so on FB ?, yes, hey ho. Personally the death of my 15 year old Dog has affected me more than anything else recently. Proper heartbroken me.

The latest report is that no hard drugs nor suicide note have been found.

70% of people who commit suicide do not leave a note, and what are not hard drugs ?

Is it grief or is it empathy? I can say how awful it is to read of a 25 year old mother dying, leaving young children motherless, that I feel for her family. That doesn't mean I am grieving.
I know what it is to grieve for a young person dying when my brother died at 21.

Amazing the space given by the red tops today. If it was Bob that had died I could understand it, whilst her death is tragic, Peaches is hardly an A list celebrity.

Good for you.

Thanks hitony

How did the media portray her?

Wow! Just read the first post in that thread and felt like I was rewatching the episode in second series of Breaking Bad I watched last night!!

RIP.

 

[Nibble]

Er, isn't that what you did when your mother died?

Yeah, I discussed it on here. She was my mother not someone I've never met, have no connection with and makes no difference to my life.

 

[Nibble]

He posted on NSC that his mother died. People gave nibble the sympathy and empathy he was in need of.
Now someone else dies and nibble thinks it a load of attention seeking emotional porn.
I guess some people count themselves as more important?

No, I can see the usual suspects on here have missed the point entirely. It's not that complicated, I find public grief an interesting phenomenon. I understand some of the more simple minded among NSC's great and good cannot compute any kind of attempt at insight and anything that veers away from "RIP". Luckily not all on here are like that.

When anyone comes on here and talks about someone they know who has died it is understandable and relatable. If Bob Geldof came on here looking for a kind word I would like to think he would receive it. But it's unlikely so I think public grief is attention seeking. But who wants to hear that?

I doubt many of us have ever met your mother, (and I cant say I have seen or remember your thread) but how would you feel if someone on here had made negative comments when you were grieving and upset? I appreciate your mother was very likely not well known in the public eye, but it does not stop human beings having care and thoughts for others, as I put at the beginning of this thread, my daughter is the same age and has just had a baby, I really cant (and don't want to!) imagine how ANY other human being (however famous or not) would be feeling when they lose someone so close, it must be heartbreaking, as I am sure you remember well.

By the way I am sorry you lost you mother, I lost mine 18 years ago, in fact she literally died in my arms of Dementia, she weighed under 5 stone and was aged 66, so I can understand how you must have felt.

If he came on here, he'd see this, written by you.

That's pretty awful. I for one will miss um, er, all that stuff she did.

 

[Nibble]

You're quite right. An Ill thought out post by me.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

These events are causing pain and suffering to a greater number of people, but they are absolutely not causing MORE pain to the individuals involved.

I wouldn't be so sure. Bob has lost a daughter, and that is (of course) tragic. But is it not more tragic to have lost a whole family (or indeed, two daughters), as many people in war-torn parts of the world have?

We might be wandering into qualitative utilitarianism country if we carry on, so I'm happy to disagree. :thimbsup:

It the press focused on one family during the civil war to show the extent of suffering it would be easier to identify with it, but all we get is generalised reports of explosions, retaliations and numbers.

In modern society she is certainly a bigger celeb than Bob, in terms of how often they get column inches.

My waist will disagree with this.
