Dear all, I am determined to do this posting but it is very difficult as I can't find the words.
In January my beautiful niece died suddenly. She was fifteen years old and also pregnant. She was loved and respected by all who knew her and the baby's father, her family, friends and school were standing by her decision to have her baby.
Sadly it was not to be and she collapsed and died totally unexpectedly along with her baby.
Worse still the circumstances of her death became a news item and spread everywhere so that her personal life was commented upon and discussed endlessly on the internet by those who did not know her at all, causing great distress at a time of total shock.
Pictures and information were taken from Face Book pages by the media without permission. This is a warning-you may find yourself in a situation not of your choosing and your personal information could also be taken. Check your settings-young people in particular have so many "friends". If your settings say your pages can be viewed by friends of friends you are at risk. Only accept as friends people you genuinely know and don't allow friends of friends to see personal information or you too could find your albums have been trawled by the media.
She is now at rest along with her baby. We are all trying to get on with our lives but it is very hard.

ReplyDeleteBetty how dreadful for you all, what a shocking loss. And on top of that to have deal with the media and their judgements...how utterly grim for you all. Wishing you nothing but strength and love as you all learn to go forward.
ReplyDeleteWhat dreadful news Betty. I do think the press really just don't know how to treat some things sensitively. It really must have been a dreadful time for all the family and friends. Sending you all big hugs.

ReplyDeleteBetty my deepest sympathies, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Some times one has to wonder if the members of the press have families or feelings.
ReplyDeleteBetty so sorry to hear your terrible news, my deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Sometimes when you hear how the press behave you have to wonder if they have families or feelings. They should remember what you give you 'give' you receive back with interest.....

ReplyDeleteSuch sad news, you and all your family have my sympathy. Stories like yours make you realise that you should take what you read in the papers with a pinch of salt. Just remember that people who can't find something nice to say are the people who don't matter in life. x
