The Queens passing as a fundamental change to be assimilated

cloudfire

Like alot of people Queen Elizabeth was the only monarch I'd ever known.  I feel sad at her passing, and remain in awe of her carrying out duties -  ones that I could not even comprehend trying to do - for 70 years, when it was never her choice.

But I think my reaction is more about the fundamental change in the status quo.  Our country is already on very rocky ground with poor environmental choices and the escalating cost of living and I feel that this event has just tipped things over the edge for me....

I wondered if anyone else had felt that way?

I feel like I need time to think about it and understand it, work out how it will affect me (media input, conversations, future impact) before I can get on with other things again.

  • It's a huge change, for everyone really and it's going to take a lot of getting used to, for me as any change is head spinning for me. The Queen has always been here for my 25 years alive and now she's gone, no more public speaking, no more Christmas speech, just one more event - her funeral. Very sad. And then have to adjust and get used to the new King. 

    I suppose we have no choice but to get used to this big upsetting change but it will take a lot of time for me.

    Thank you - I think you're right in that we're used to seeing her at points in the year and that has now stopped
