Jade Goody's Boys Lose Another Loved One

trix — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 16:02:00 GMT

Oh, my goodness, I don't think I can take anymore sad news today. Jade Goody's poor little boys lost their great grandfather to suicide yesterday.

He was recently diagnosed with throat and mouth cancer and took his own life. We don't know what the suicide note said, but I can't help but think that he didn't want live through what Jade did.

He left the suicide note on the kitchen table for his family and a gun was found next to his body.

Poor Jeff Brazier, to lose the mother of your children is hard, no matter what kind of relationship you had. But to lose another family member within a few short weeks is just more then anyone should have to bear.

Jeff's rep said that he will wait to tell the boys because, " They are very young and have had more than enough pain in the past few weeks."

Our thoughts go out to the family in their time of loss.

Jade Goody's Boys Aren't Going To The Funeral

trix — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 23:02:00 GMT

Jade Goody's sons are so, understandable distraught over their mothers death that they are not going to attend the planned funeral on the April 4.

Jade's mother Jackiey said, the boys are so young I don't think their broken hearts will be able to bear it. “It’s also about the safekeeping of their memories of their mum for when they are older.”

Jackiey doesn't want the boys to remember the media circus surrounding their mother's funeral. She wants the memories they have to be of her before she was sick. The memories of the joyous childhood that every parent wants for their children.

Two days after the funeral, Jade's last book will be published. It's title is, Jade: Remember Me This Way, and all the profits from the book will go to the Marie Curie Cancer Care. The book has hundreds of photo, Jade's favorite photos that she selected for the book.

Jade Goody's Supporters Turn Out In Droves

trix — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 11:30:00 GMT

Jade Goody died early Sunday morning and already hundreds of mourners, supporters and fans have left tributes at her home.

The tributes are along the lines of flowers, cards, balloons, and stuffed animals. Though the family has asked for their privacy, to mourn in peace, they do appreciate the outpouring of love for Jade.

Jade's mom Jackiey said that they are overwhelmed by the public reaction of her death. She commented, " It just shows how many people really loved her."

I think that many people have latched on to Jade's story as a chance to grieve for something or someone they have lost.

It's hard not to be strong all the time, I personally need a sad movie or song to evoke tears. I find it's easier to feel for someone else, than to feel my own pain. We can all relate to Jade in some way, whether you are a mother, a daughter, a wife, we've all lost someone dear to us.

Jane McGrath's memorial service was attended by many mourners clad in pink, the color that symbolizes the fight against breast cancer to which McGrath recently lost her battle.

In a tender and bittersweet gesture McGrath's children, James and Holly, blew bubbles outside of the church, a tribute to the fact that their parents were wed in the same church in 1999. The children were accompied by their father Glenn.
