Feels inappropriate to do a recap etc. To those who might have missed the other thread, Maeve’s dad passed away this morning.
Heartbreaking seeing her stories a few hours before where she was walking her niece around her dads orchard, she’s too young to know what’s going on and Maeve was clearly just trying to hold it together, as I suspect she has constantly been doing for a while Her dad passing less than a week after her wedding is going to hit like a tonne of bricks. Feel really really sad for all of them, hoping they’re managing to find some peace.
Exactly. It's awful what she's going through, but we can still have an opinion on her whether it be good or bad. Same way everyone has a (mostly crappy) opinion on Rachel Gorry who lost her husband. And Ashley Cain who lost his daughter. It's a gossip forum, all of us here can have an opinion on the whole wedding carry on yet still have sympathy for her.I really feel for Maeve and I think everyone deals with emotions in different ways. Who knows what's going through her head but I have to say the posts on the other threads sound very much like it's coming from her camp. If my dad was dying I personally would not get married if I found out 2 days later that he was on his death bed I would be straight home no questions asked. If her dad had cancer she knew his time was very close. Maybe she chose to stay away because that may have equally hurt her but I dont think having a go at people for speaking out against her actions is the right way forward. I have alot of sympathy for Maeve who just lost her beloved dad but equally would I have decided to do some of the things she decided to do? No I wouldn't

I’m confused what you mean by ‘coming from her camp’?
Some of her connections are defending her on here?????!!!!!!!
Omg would you get over yourself. I've merely stated that everyone on here is entitled to an opinion. My opinion is that for someone who's father was terminally ill would I have made the decision to stay away from him any longer then needed no... in my eyes she's made some decisions I personally would not do. That does not mean we are evil tatters who lack any empathy for her situation. Nobody but her knows what's really going on but I'm merely commenting on how it's being portrayed on instagram which is her own doing!!That’s really weird to suggest that just because we have sympathy for her we must be her friends and family. Some of us are just displaying our decency- how on earth does that mean we must know her There’s clearly a few people on here that do know their family, knowing the funeral details etc. But it’s a bit of a stretch to say that people showing sympathy must be ‘coming from her camp’. You don’t need to know a person to be able to feel sorry for them when someone they love dies.

Yes it is, my parents would have almost be disgusted if I called them mam or dad, they’d have said it was a British thing funnily enoughIs Daddy a NI thing? Nothing at all wrong with it but it's not very common in the Republic other than with very young children. I've seen it used a lot in this thread.
@ellsbellswell what is your point with this thread? I don't think there is one person here who doesn't sympathise with the Madden family losing a loved one is horrific.That’s really weird to suggest that just because we have sympathy for her we must be her friends and family.

And that’s your opinion- but the rest of us can have ours without you telling us we must know her or be related to her? You can’t say ‘we’re all allowed an opinion’ and then as soon as people have different ones to yours accuse them of ‘coming from her camp’. Bit of a weird thing to say just because you have a different opinion to someone.

A palliative care nurse would have known that the poor man hadn't long in fact Maeve herself knew when she went to pick up her Range Rover that time was precious for her Dad, she said it. There was probably insurance for the party if she had to cancel and genuine friends would have understood if the party was cancelled, I mean she was already married. They would have understood the familys priority to spend whatever visiting time was allowed with him in his final days (I won't go in to it but i was in a similar situation). Everyone is different, I can't imagine the stress, pressure and sadness they felt in particular her Mum who has lost her life long partner.
In the grand scheme of things the party is now totally irrelevant, I'm sure it was a day immense sadness for some, not the joyful happy celebration it should have been.
My heartfelt sympathy to the family. Rest in Peace Mr Madden, sleep easy
In honesty, they don’t know sometimes. My mother was sent home from hospital palliative but given months to live and died later on that week. A friend of mines father was given 6 months, was sent home and died hours later. It’s madness.
God help them at this time.
