Is it just me or is it in bad taste to speak of someone terminally ill in a bad light. Some of the comments I've heard regarding the now infamous Jade Goody have left me feeling less than comfortable.

First there was the neighbour who on hearing the news that she was going to a hospice for a few days had the nerve to reply 'Good at least I can finally get some peace and quiet'! I'm very sorry but there is nothing 'good' about anyone going to a hospice. Ok so the paparazzi have been camped outside your property for days and cars are always coming and going...BUT SHE IS DYING the noise will soon be over sir.

In a recent documentary some were slating her for 'dying on camera' they felt she had taken her reality TV role way too far and was almost milking the situation. Snobs say she should donate some of the money to a cancer charity...I say her children are her priority and let her die with the peace of mind that they will be looked after.

Dying and death will befall us all at some point, let us not judge those that have it staring them dangerously close in the face.

Jade has shown bravey and courage way beyond her years and we should all pray that she will not just focus on the life she is leaving behind but the life beyond she is soon to enter. As a Christian my sincere hope is that she know Jesus before time for her stands still.
