National grief

JenNeg

I can logically understand why the nation is reacting to the Queen's death in the way that it is, but I am finding it harder and harder to deal with. I've had quite a lot of grief in my life, loosing relatives and friends. I can't really understand why people who didn't know the Queen personally are getting so emotional. My Dad keeps crying, which he never usually does.

Can anyone help me understand the whole situation?

  • For some, her death reminds them of their own grief. 
    For others, they feel sad, because they knew someone that the loved the queen that is no longer with them.

    Others just loved her or even served her in the forces.

    My mother told me that she had tears roll out of her eyes but no crying when she was watching Charles etc walking behind the coffin. She didn’t expect that to happen.

    I myself felt a lump in my throat the day after the queen died, and they were talking about the Paddington sketch she did for the jubilee. When it was on screen, I felt her loss for a moment. She was a good sport. I am not a royalist, but I do appreciate the amount of work she put into serving the country day after day for most of her life. I don’t feel the need to watch everything in TV, nor go to see her coffin. 
    I have had a loss in the family this year, and one last year, so I put it down to that.

    It signifies a period of change.
