Jade Goody Dying according to Max Clifford

[BoneDog]

My Dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer in November 2007. He was given 6 months max and was with us until the early hours of the 23rd June 2008.

It is the worst experience of my life. The one person I looked up to for everything and was always there if I needed advice and helped me out throughout my childhood and early adult life. The only thing I could do was look after him, which I did as best as I could.

This really brings me to what I wanted to say which is, there was no media coverage of my Dad's death. We made no money from it. So why should I have sympathy for someone who I have never met who really acted at times during her life that I found disgraceful? Why should I feel anything for her plight when she knew nothing of my Dad's?

Well, I do. I can't help it. Dying does not make you a good person all of a sudden. However, could you imagine the thoughts going through your head when you are told you are soon going to be dead? Never seeing the ones you love again. Not to mention her kids - the moment I was told my Dad was dying, I did not cry I was in a state of shock. My eyes filled with water and it just poured all over my dinner that I was eating at the time. I then had to tell my brother when he got in from work the news. And I was 24! They are just small children.

And now, 8 months on from losing my dad, I still have not got over it. There is a massive void in my life that cannot be filled, ever. I will never see him again, go for a pint with him again, go to the cricket with him. This is not a personal cry for sympathy, it is now my life and I shall deal with it. However, please think before you crucify someone who may have annoyed you at moments in life, for being in the paper whilst dying. Think of how her family will feel when she's gone and then how she feels right now. She has never murdered anyone and never done anything horrific, so while she may not deserve or get your sympathy, to actively berate her is not right. Just leave her be.

That got me emotional.

Well said

Agreed. Fine post - straight from the heart.

I have nothing to say. Really heartfelt mate.

That sums it all up and puts everything into perspective. Real heartfelt post.

Close thread.

Spot on Cobbo.

Everything I would have said is in this post. I lost my dad 7 years ago and we got 8 months with him, I was only 16 but the thing that upset me the most was that he was just 39. I am not looking for sympathy either by the way, I actually don't mind talking about this and I am very open about it. I have helped a few people out by talking about my experience.

It is hard not seeing them again, I never got to go to the pub with my dad and do normal father and son things. I feel robbed. But you have to carry on, through all of this my two sisters who at the time were 10 and 13 didn't have a clue what had happened, I devoted all my time to help them get back to school and be there for them. I just worked to supply them and they have gone on to become brilliant young women. One of whom now has a one year old, the grandchild he will never see, which was very hard for her to accept.

I have learnt some harsh lessons in life and some of the conversations I had with my dying father I will take to the grave with me, I often question if that man lives upstairs.

But through all of this I have grown up a lot and In a way I became my father which I am very proud, he was a good man.

Anyway that is just my small story, I am just a fraction of the millions and millions of people who suffer the same every day.

Jades £1 million wedding deal.

I think this is absolutely disgraceful, she's earning all this money for being talentless basically, and is now even leeching off the media with the cancer thing.

Because she wants to earn money for her children, can't they just get a real job and earn it themselves?

Shes already a multi millionaire and for doing what, going on big brother, indian big brother and celebrity big brother.

Theres plenty of people out there dieing of cancer who don't get this sort of attention.

Now i don't mind people earning money if they genuinely have talent, like decent singers, actors etc but our ridiculous celebrity culture is a joke, talentless losers earning more money in a year than we will in 20 years for well doing nothing.

They are celebrities because they are celebrities.

Ant and Decs show is embarassing now, look at the fooking losers in the Ant V Dec team thing, all desperate to be on TV, desperate for money, most appeared on all the other reality shows its a joke.

Jade Goody dieing of cancer, i would never wish that on anyone, but can't she just go out with some dignity like everyone else does with cancer.

Talentless, ugly pig making stupid money for doing nothing.

I think pretty much everything that needs to be said has been said, really.
