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.

  • This is a big change so I'm not surprised it's having this effect. It's had similar on me and I read shops are closing on Monday out of respect for the Queen, so that's got me in a bit of a panic as well. And then there's the change of the new King to get used to as well as a new PM I'm trying to adjust to. I feel you, I really do! Take as much time out as you need to get all this processed. It's bound to take a while so try to take your time and adjust.
