I don't think she can be blamed or criticised for milking the media circuit to ensure her son's future security, after all, isn't the media circus just there to satisfy us, the public???
Regardless of that, the fact that people 'grieve' so publicly is not, in my opinion a genuine display of grief.
I call it 'reality' grief, it's the grief individuals display when they feel the need to be seen to be grieving.
I call it 'reality' grief but in reality, it's anything but, it's not a genuine grief as you would feel for your mother or father etc
It's a grief that is acted out for the purposes of drawing attention to themselves ... it's psychology is that of a child trying to get its mother's attention and caring affection...these individuals crave that and use the likes of Jade Goody's passing as a convenient vehicle on which to act out their display.
I actually despise people such as these because they are weak and their pretense is not only inappropriate but also offensive.
There are however a number of people who will be close to Jade Goody who will genuinely grieve and it is these people who have ironically asked for privacy from the media and perhaps this gives us a clue to the nature of real grief, and that is, it's a private affair and not to be put on display like a medal of pretense.
