Further to the news about the death of Amy Winehouse yesterday, and reading reactions on the likes of Twitter & Facebook we find it quite distressing that some people assume that because you care about the death of a ‘celebrity’ you do not have the capacity to care about all of the other deaths / disasters that occur every day in the world.
For many Amy is the face representing the many thousands of people that die as a result of addiction every day, a sad reminder that such tortured souls exist.
Surely if we were to put a face to and be informed of the lives of every single person that died as a result of Addiction, War, Terrorism or other such evils we’d all become as tortured, unable to cope with life and possibly end up dead before our time...
Lets hope all the tortured souls find peace x

Well said! It's shocking the comments that have appeared since Amy's death. A friend noted today that if people want to make snide jokes or say she deserved it, then they should remember to be consistent and take that Nirvana hoodie off. Amen to that.
