Is anyone not weeping in to their cuppa today?

Or is it just me? My colleagues are all in mourning and apparently can’t concentrate and do their work properly today and I’m all 😑 at the drama of them.

Don’t get me wrong Her Majesty was a legend and she did a really good job, but at 96 it’s hardly unexpected and I don’t think it warrants quite the level of drama some people seem to be displaying.

It is doing my head in. She was 96 and led a life of privilege. She had 40 years more than my DF.

It is sad for her family.

Can't even escape the news as when I was on the home page of Fire TV there was stuff at the very topic - documentaries etc🥱

Many people died the same day as the Queen. She is a human being, she cried, got exasperated, poo'd just like everyone else.

It's sad for her family and friends. None of us knew her, so peoples grief is probably based on remembering their own family passing or the passing of an era. Or perhaps just missing the familiarity of her image on the TV.

I'm not sad but I've dealt with death repeatedly through my work so maybe I've hardened up. Things that make me sad is someone dying in their own without anyone to care or dying young when they have young children/teenagers who are left broken.

She lived well and died well - she was incredibly lucky so I am not sad.
