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?

  • I am struggling to understand it. I think she was a lovely lady and I had so much respect for her and I felt sad when she passed away but, when people have been through so much sadness with covid and war and poverty its hard for me to understand why they would choose to feel so sad about someone they didnt know. The queing to see the coffin really baffles me, I dont understand why anyone would want to queue to do that, it doesnt make sense to me

    I guess the only way I can understand it is to relete it to how I feel when my favourite celebrities have passed away. I was so upset when Sarah Harding from Girls Aloud died and sad when Shane Warne the cricketer passed away. I guess for some people the Queen means to them what those people did to me
