    Peaches Geldof

    Many of you are probably struggling to come to terms with how a seemingly healthy 25 year old girl could have passed away so suddenly. When I had health anxiety I would obsess over every celebrity death - it made it so much easier to accept if there were drugs involved or it was a suicide. In this case it looks like natural causes, which a few years ago would have sent me into a blind panic: "oh my god, if she can just die from nowhere, then I'm definitely going to drop dead soon with my history of palpitations, chest pains, stroke symptoms etc etc."

    I now realise that the above is faulty thinking - it is a tragedy, but you must not apply this to your own situation because this is not relateable to you. People die every day, every minute, but the vast majority live long and healthy lives. Just because someone else has died, this does not make any difference to your own situation.

    Practise distraction, don't obsess over this and avoid Dr Google, and you'll be fine.

    Thanks for posting this Skippy. The only difference here is that she was apparently well known (I never heard of here before). Tragic yes, but that's where it ends.

    The fact is, people pass, from infants to elderly, in all walks of life, every single day for all sorts of reasons. We just don't hear about it.

    I read an article about someone my age dying and it sends me into a panic, however its very quick to get over, I just shut the article off and that's that. However with this its everywhere you turn, all the papers, the news channels, Facebook etc its not something you can just forget about.

    I know its totally unrelatable to anyone of us but lots of people aren't as far along in their recovery as others on here and for some people it's just not easy to not dwell on it.

    Its just terribly tragic for her family, especially her sons as she clearly adored them.

    She was a heroin junkie and so was her mother. Far from healthy! She may not have died from drugs but her lifestyle sure didn't help.

    It's very sad. I didn't read a lot about her, but it outwardly appeared that she was turning her life around. Heartbreaking for the family.

    I notice in recent pictures how pale and thin she looked. I read in one article that she said she lost weight quickly by doing a lot of juicing. Could have had an eating disorder.

    No matter what.. Young mother dies leaving two young boys behind. Always very, very sad.

    Re: Peaches Geldof

    despite her history the main point here is she was only 25

    no matter if it was natural causes or drugs etc i am still saddened by this and hate people cashing in like people on ebay - really pisses me off :(

    sorry for the rant but lets leave her family to grieve

    I have been having a really bad week and this news was really upsetting for me :( anyone who has watched peaches vs Katie Hopkins on this morning will have a lot of respect for her! I just really really feel for the children, she seemed so lovely and she really wanted to provide for her children and not leave them like her mum did to her which just makes it so sad :(
