National grief

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?

  • I think it varies for everyone. For some they will have really loved the Queen and her family or it will bring back memories of deaths in the family. Or maybe some people are just sensitive to these things. For me it's that I did like the Queen and I genuinely am heartbroken at her death and the loss and pain her family now have to endure. It's also a big change and I find change hard to adapt to. I've also lost my little sister and this has come back fresh since the Queen sadly died.
