My mum died 3 days earlier, I got a phone call from my brother the day before telling me my mum was dying, that she had a couple of days left at the most, she died the following morning.
I never got to see her, she made the choice of keeping her state of health away from me, we were estranged for nearly 20years, and I never got to know when her funeral was until after it had taken place, but as heartless as it sounds when the Queen died it did affect me more than mum mom’s passing.
It wasn’t out of love, why it bothered me, it was out of respect for this woman who worked tirelessly for her subjects who are scattered across the globe!
Even though she was 96 I never thought that day would come, and to be honest, here in the UK, there is a sense of loss, and the feeling that a huge hole has been torn out of the very fabric of the UK.
King Charles is going to be very hard to get used to, because he isn’t particularly liked, but he is our new Monarch, so time will tell if he will gain the respect his mother had worked tirelessly for for 70 years.

Not going to lie, I literally woke up and I had a feeling something bad happened
I had that feeling like something just hit like a lot of agony just came and was hitting me all at once and I knew it had to be her
Honestly I was hoping Queen Elizabeth would live to be 100 but for living as long as she did she will be very missed
May she rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️

God would save the Queen, and everyone. JOHN 11:25-26: "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"

The woman who shushed everyone and then continued speaking herself seems like the kind of person who tells everyone else to be quiet just so they can all witness her reaction to this momentous occasion.

That's what I was just going to say that! 😂❤️🤠

I think you got it wrong.
The truly amazing thing is that it took about only 10 seconds for the group to ALL catch word of the event.
And indeed they ALL did fall silent. Their rapid silence is a testament to their respect.
Stopping basically immediately in their individual lives to listen and be silent.
