You can be considered terminal for months and in some cases years. What Daddy would want his whole family putting their lives on hold feeling like they couldn’t do anything or go anywhere, constantly living in that fear. Yes it is awful timing, but you could also say he was happy to see Maeve have her big day and was happy to let go and be in peace
A palliative care nurse can not tell you how long someone has left they re not clairvoyant and I have sat by the beds of 2 family members who were dying of cancer. They can tell you what they think they will also tell you they see people who last for weeks and people who they think will live for weeks and pass away within hours. Maeves dad must have went down hill very fast she was planning for him to walk her down the aisle the week before and when someone is that sick you don’t know your arse from your elbow and it’s very hard to believe it’s happening. When my Dad was dying we didn’t know maybe we were naive but when he went to sleep we didn’t know it was a coma and he would never speak to us again and the doctor or palliative care nurse didn’t know he wouldn’t wake up again or he would go down hill so fast. It’s not like it is in films with big goodbyes and everyone getting to say all the things they need to. My heart absolutely breaks for her it’s so sad@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.
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
yes I agree with you we were told on a Friday by the doctor and palliative care nurse my Dad had months to live he went down hill by the Monday went into a coma and died on Tuesday no one knew it would be that fast. There were no last words no big goodbyes real life is not a film and honestly no one wants to believe someone they love that much is going to die even when it is happening before yo I wish people would stop judging her none of us know the full situation it is the worst place in the world to be i they must all be completely devestated. I like coming on tattle the odd time for a rant about stupid things influencers do and say but this is real life I have nothing but sympathy for the madden familyIn 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.
That’s very kind I think it’s important we are kind iv lost my dad to cancer I know how difficult it was especially at the end I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I feel for Maeve the best and worst day of her life in one weekI was in Maeves year at School, I honestly think she thought she had more time with her daddy. She was devoted to her family. Even if she was a bit of a dose, she loved her parents.
she always came across as an it girl, and that still shows.
So sad her dad passed away, but my dad would want me to confine on with a wedding if he was on the same position. She will be get abuse regardless what she was going to do.
the bow didn’t surprise me, very maeve, and she looked beautiful
