Has the death of the queen set anyone else back in their progress of grieving a parent?

[TheMidnightLibrary]

I've struggled for the last couple of years with the death of my last surviving parent. Some days have been worse than others. I have had support and counselling.

I was beginning to have far, far fewer sad days, but since the death of the queen all I can do is cry about my parents.
I feel so sad for the queen's children at the loss of their beloved mother and cannot shake the memories of sitting with both my parents as they died and the horrendous process of making all the arrangements.
Is anyone else in the same position?

💐to everyone grieving.

Like @Wotagain and @bloodywhitecat I am struggling at the moment.
My DH died suddenly nine months ago and I seem to have survived on automatic pilot for much of the time since, but the Queen’s death has brought to the surface many feelings I have been suppressing. Particularly due to the fact that DH was buried in less than 24 hours (religious custom) whilst I was still in a state of shock; I didn’t “feel” his funeral, I just felt frozen and detached from reality. I needed more time.
I have felt very unsettled since the Queen died, I have cried a few times, but the tears are for my lovely DH.

I've switched it off as I found it brought back painful memories of losing both my DPs in lockdown. I find the reporting very intrusive for the grieving RF and some reporters almost seem to be enjoying the competitive grief.

Yes every now and then I find myself crying at the tv coverage and then I don’t know if I’m crying about the Queen or my dad. I’m all mixed up.

I'm in the same situation - painful memories of sitting with them as they died are right at the surface now. But the part of the process that totally floors me still is the memory of when my father's body arrive at the crematorium chapel and after the service I when struggled to leave the coffin behind and leave the room, so seeing the Queen's coffin and her children having to deal with all this in public is awful.

Totally ageee. My dad passed in March this year and since then it’s been one thing after another. I’ve been. Overly angry with anyone criticising this royal family because I’m feeling their grief too.

no one in real life with the exception of my boss seems to have give.n it a second thought.

it’s my dad’s birthday today and it’s so hard

I am not sure. My dad died a couple of years ago and my mum is still alive at 81. It's definitely made me think about it more and I can't let myself think about it too much or get too sad as I don't feel like I could be sadder than my dad dying if that makes sense
