The Queens death - raw emotions surfacing

I have started this post due to one I have just read and some of the comments from people who are experiencing what I am the now.

I thought i would do this post for people who would like to express how they feel about the Queens death bringing up raw emotions around their own loved ones deaths.

For me, my Dad died 6 weeks ago. Watching the Queens family rush to say their goodbyes and being to late, brings up some very raw emotions and memories for me from 6 weeks ago. It is exactly what happened to my family.

Knowing that her family have that awful, stomach churning physical pain inside them reminds me of the very early days of how I felt when my Dad passed over.

I have found myself in tears most of today so far, not so much over grieving for the Queen, although it is very sad what has happened, but because i miss my Dad so much and all this takes me back to 6 weeks ago.

I see so many saying they don't understand why people are sad but all I can think is - anyone who saw me driving to the school this morning with my eyes filled with tears (not crying) may of looked at me and thought, oh god, not another one. What they don't know is my Dad died only 6 weeks ago, I am grieving and what has happened is bringing all my feelings and emotions to the surface. The radio are playing some very sad songs that are also making me emotional, infact right now, my Dads reflection song at his funeral, 3 weeks ago, has just came on.

I am so sorry to the many people on here, who i have seen comment on a post, who are grieving and experiencing some very raw emotions at the moment ❤️

@Greyarea12 I am glad your dd is watching youtube! A bit of normality.
I too will be glad when we have some usual TV. If someone like me is feeling a bit miserable (I build walls around myself) I kind of worry for people who are feeling depressed anyway, or who have MH problems. (Hugs to anyone out there who does.. you are thought of.)

I hope you have a good chat with your Daddy. I lost mine 34 years ago (don't worry, you don't still feel raw pain after all that time!) but I do miss him & think of him every day.
Hugs to you, sweetheart. x

I lost my Mum 6 weeks ago too. I knew, when I saw pictures of the Queen earlier this week, that she was dying because Mum had had the same look.
I spent most of yesterday in tears - not quite fathoming why. This thread has been helpful in reassuring me that I am not alone.
Sending you all heartfelt condolences.
