Please stop being so bloody rude, *@LyingWitchInTheWardrobe*, you have no idea of my personal circumstances in relation to losses from Covid. This simply isn’t the place for your complaints, they are in incredibly poor taste on a thread where people are collectively mourning and sharing how they feel. How bloody dare you brand people sharing their feelings as fake, you have no idea. Start your own AIBU if you want a debate.
Sorry but why are people mourning someone they don't even actually know?
Yes it's sad for his family that he died, but he was 100 years old and had a much better final months and weeks than many 100 year olds do.
What I think is awful is how people will be gushing and the faux grieving, and it is fake (just like the Princess Diana grieving was fake), how can you grieve someone you don't personally know?
I'm concerned that his actual family and friends won't be allowed to grieve in peace, that his death will be politised, that the media will use it as clickbait.
And let's not forget the man is now going to treated as a statistic to be argued over, won't be long until the with/of covid arguments start. I just hope his family are going to be left alone, but I wouldn't bet on it
*disclaimer, I am autistic and don't understand emotions, never understood the "public outpouring of grief" for anyone they didn't know personally. Shock that they have died maybe, but you need an actual emotional connection to someone to grieve, surely
