Angelina Jolie’s Mom Dies at 56

A sad day indeed. I post once in a while but I’ve been following this family for a while now. I am sure Angie & James are not feeling the love of their family members. They will be strong to face this loss. But their mother is on good hands now.

I have no words-just tears.

I’m so sad. tears in my eye when I read the news . Angie was so close to her mother. must be really painful. May Brad and the children be a source of strength and comfort to her during this time of grief.
I give my deepest sympathy to Angie and family.

thank you mia marie…and welcome!

Very sad…. I am glad Brad was at Angie’s side to comfort her. I wonder if Marcheline was aware of what her daughter has been going through with all the GG stuff. I remember Angie’s interview about “Shark Tale” when she was cast as the bad fish (!), her mother said, “Why, you are the good one!” She had such a strong bond with her mom and I do hope that Brad, who is her family now, is strong enough to take the vacant seat in being her rock. Sounds like he is there for her all the way. It is a comfort to know that Marcheline saw her daughter finally with a stable relationship with a very caring life-partner. At least she was sure her daughter is going to be OK.

It is such a sad time. I had hoped when I saw Angelina on Larry King that her mother had turned the corner on her illness.

God bless James, Angelina, Brad and their family. Her suffering is at an end.

My thoughts turn to Jon Voight. My one heart felt wish is that he should take whatever action would be the most comfort to his children. If he is capable, and if their situation allows, of being a loving, unselfish father and healing the rift between himself and his daughter, then that would be lovely. If he is incapable of being that fir her, then may he have the grace and goodness to stay away and send whatever loving energy he is able to send to both his children and all his grand children.

Marcheline was a beautiful woman. Her internal beauty shined. May she find Bliss and true rest.

I don’t know what to say—-I can’t stop hurting for all of them……… So, folks who usually lurk, please come on .and show how much we love Angie, Brad, Janie and the grandkids…….. OK, goodnight!

Some people are thinking, wow, her mum is dying and she was in NO and in Vietnam and didn’t spend time with her mum for christmas. I just want to share my own story.

I had a dear friend, who was diagnosed with breast cancer. Underwent chemotherapy and appeared to be in remission. 2 years later, after a checkup she found out that she had brain cancer. it was inoperable and chemo was not effective. My friend didn’t tell anyone anything. Not her parents, her siblings or her husband (thankfully, no children). She lived her life, went on holidays. One day she fainted. Was rushed to hospital and pretty much died within a week. Her family were so angry with her but in the end, accepted that that was just the way she had wanted to live out the time she had, not in grieving, not in fear, but as normally as possible.

My aunt was diagnosed with cancer in October 2005. Her family were somewhat far flung. They came to see her but her prognosis was not clear. Perhaps 6 months, perhaps 2 months. What to do? My cousins went back to their families, their jobs, their kids schooling. My aunt didn’t want everything to be put on hold just because. She just didn’t. Perhaps it was because she wanted to be on her own - to come to terms with her impending death. Perhaps she found having her grieving family around her too muchy of a burden for her. She wanted normality. She wanted peace. As it was, she died in less then 2 months. The end was swift. Pneumonia and that was it in a couple of days.

No one can judge why Angelina chose to spend time in NO or in Vietnam in the weeks before Marcheline’s death. Perhaps they were all under the impression that Marcheline was licking the disease. I believe in the US, patient doctor confidentiality means that not even the family are entitled to know the true condition of a patient unless she consents. Perhaps Marcheline didn’t tell them she had only weeks to live. Just recently, Angelina said she thought that her mother was beating the disease.

Perhaps Marcheline wanted her children to continue to live their lives rather than have their lives put on hold to revolve around her illness. Some cancer patients prefer that - like my friend and my aunt. And perhaps, Angelina and her brother thought that was the best way to honour their mother, to live their lives rather then focus on their mothers illness.

Haters are quick to judge and criticise. It’s so sad for them. I kind of hope that one day, something tragic will happen to them - not because I want them punished or anything nasty, but sometimes, only when tragedy strikes you personally, do you realise that all the hate, the anger etc is pointless. Without pain, there is no growth.

My condolences to angelina and her family this woman was young she looks a lot to her mom too
My condolences to all of you guys in this website too
DEATH SUCKS

My deepest heartfelt condolence to Angie, James and rest of the family. After many years of Marcheline’s battle with cancer, may she rest in peace knowing Angie has her family of much love and peace.. May she rest in peace knowing all is well.

I hate it when I have to come out of lurkdom to post about such sad news…..

Much love and sympathy going your way Angie, James, Brad, Madd, Z, Shiloh and those that love Marchilene.

I thank you Marchilene, for bringing into this world a beautiful person and an exemplary human being. May you rest in peace.

I lost an aunt five years ago to uterus cancer. Hearing this news has brought all those feelings rushing back. She was like a mother to me. I send my condolences to Angelina and family. I now what they are going through.
