Death

[237SJ]

Regardless of what you think of Katie Hokins, this is a really well written heartfelt article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4293430/KATIE-HOPKINS-Death-comes-slowly-fast.html

I think the poignancy of the piece is sadly diluted by its placing next to the Mail's dreadful sidebar of nonentities photographed showing their flawless this and their tones that and their rock-hard the other.

But that is not Ms. Hopkins's fault, and it does add credence to the argument that her public persona is just that - a public persona.

awful lot of mush in it

she obviously had a bill to pay

I have just read the article, well some of it and have lost the will to live.
I am not sure what she is saying..........I wish people would just "spit it out."

one man's poignancy and heart break is another man's cloying goo

I couldnt wait to get to the end and have a good laugh

( apolz to Oscar Wilde - who said during his free translation of the N T - " oh no dont stop me I want to see how it ends " and " no one can read the death of Little Nell ( Old Curioisty SHop ) without laughing )

agreed sqad - the old boy WAS 99

my partner passed away a nanosecond from leaving his sickbed. death is a taboo subject in many ways, i haven't read the piece but i might in a little while.

I read this article yesterday and found it very moving indeed because like a lot of us I too have lost loved ones. It made me cry. Samjenko, for some reason hospitals don't seem to want dying patients to have a drink. My dear old Dad was always thirsty when we went to visit him and wolfed down the cold drinks we gave him, one time he was holding on very tightly to a large bottle of lemonade we had bought him and wouldn't let go of it. At the time we didn't think a lot of it, but now I know that he was always thirsty and it haunts me.

whatever you think of her its a thoughtful, fairly well written, with sadness attached for a life that is ebbing away.

Having recently lost my wonderful Mum, I found this article heartbreaking and of course I cried. Mamya at 22:25, what a moving and very true comment x

For everyone that's lost someone, I thought that was just right 23.
