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 don't understand it either. The nation is NOT reacting to it, just large numbers are for reasons best known to themselves. Perhaps it's because it's what we are told to do by the media, and most people seem to be sadly incapable of independent thought? Unless you were being brainwashed by the queen (which I doubt) then it's probably best just to get on with your life and try to ignore the wall to wall dark age sycophancy.
