WHEN a beautiful young mother dies in tragic circumstances everyone has to tread carefully for fear of saying something that might offend. But I'm going to say this anyway. I don't think it's appropriate that Russ Lindsay and Sally Meen married just two years after Caron Keating's death. I think it's even worse that they may also have sold their wedding to a celebrity magazine even if the profits from that photoshoot go to the charity set up in Caron's name.

I know people have to move on. I know they can't mourn forever, but they can embark upon new relationships in a far more subtle and tasteful way than Lindsay and Sally Meen have. They didn't actually need to get married at all, let alone so soon. They certainly didn't need to sell the story of their marriage to a celebrity magazine and Ms Meen absolutely didn't need to tell the world (in Hello!) she "couldn't be more of a mother" to Caron's boys" and how she did "absolutely everything for them" when one gets the impression the reason she did the interview in the first place was to establish herself as Mrs Lindsay No. 2.

I'm not saying Russ Lindsay doesn't deserve to be happy but surely he could have waited a decent interval before making quite so public a statement about his love for another woman. It was only five months after Caron died that he and Meen began dating and five months after that when they moved in together.

I hope, for the sake of Caron's kids, that their marriage does work, because in their short lives Charlie and Gabriel have already lost their REAL Mother. They dont need to lose the woman who: now desperately auditioning for the role.
