Hi, just a quick one to say that you do not get to speak on my behalf on what my comments ‘reflect’ or represent.

Sarah’s passing is upsetting to me, and no doubt many others, as someone who watched her become part of Girls Aloud in 2002 and remained a fan since so whether she died at 39 or 99 it is still going to be sad to someone who has watched her over the past two decades.

I will always feel personally affected by the deaths of younger people as my brother passed, also from cancer, at the age of 26 in 2014. I have also lost relatives of older ages and those losses are still very much painful, however, those deaths are not tinged with the constant ‘what if?’ moments when contemplating a life taken away so soon. Sarah experienced privilege, success and wealth but when you take all of that away she is still someone who did not make it to what is widely accepted as middle aged.

I have found your comments to be upsetting and am sorry that this has all taken place on the first page of a post where people have come to mourn this loss. This is not the appropriate space for this conversation to continue.

You’re right and I am sorry. My comment was disrespectful and derailing.

Thank you for your apology, I really appreciate it.

I should say sorry as I wrote that comment out and then left it for a while before posting. I should have refreshed before to see that you had already said sorry in other comments rather than go in without the most up-to-date information!

Thank you for your grace in accepting my apology. I am incredibly sorry my thoughtless my comment derailed the conversation. It wasn’t my intent, but that doesn’t mean anything or take away from the negativity.

Don’t worry about it. Obviously touchy to both of us for very different reasons having read your other comments. Mutual understanding helps us all grow, bb. <3
