Hi everyone.

I was honestly a bit reluctant about doing a post about this, I do however feel like it is important. As I am sure you are aware Queen Elizabeth the II passed away.

Whether you love or hate the monarchy, I feel like it is still important to acknowledge that she was a mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother. I was honestly a bit shocked at the news, obviously I also knew she was a 96 year old lady. She was definately a part of our lives, yes she may have made some bad choices but she also made many incredible choices.

70 years of being on a throne must of been a lot of pressure, difficult decisions, all while making sure to be a part of a family. The Queen was a devoted Christian and I personally admired her. She served and led the Country with grace, wisdom and put Jesus in the centre of all she did. She served the Lord in everything she did.

Being a Christian is difficult, the Bible talks about it not being an easy road. I can’t imagine being a Christian in the queens position, so many voices to hear, opinions to consider, making the right decisions for an entire Ccountry, while also trying to remain true to your own personal truths and convictions.

I also believe that it is very unfair, that people have placed the Queen as responsible, for what her family did including distant kings and queens of the past. She was an individual person, yes she did have a platform but I think it is important to remember that she was still another human being. The queen was very humble in how she spoke to people and led.

If you look at your friends, you don’t just blame them for what previous people in their family did, many years ago do you? You treat them with respect. I have seen a lot of rude and insensitive things being posted online about this sad time, for a lot of people.

I just can’t understand why people feel like it is ok to post disgusting things online about someone passing away. No matter their “status” or “position”. It is just not right to do. I feel like people need to remember that she was still a part of somebodies family.

It is just so sad that people can be this vile over a death of someone who, for the most part, was massively loved. Obviously those people who have said those terrible things have either not been fully educated in what the Queen herself did and not what her family did. Some are just jumping on the bandwagon of insults.

I imagined what it would be like if this was being said about my own mother, about my own grandmother and it honestly makes me feel a little queasy and angry. No family is perfect, why should one family be expected to be because of a temporary status? My own family is not perfect. Far from it, by many, many miles! It is important to remember, she was a part of a family, of course she is going to be loved and missed, just like many other families experience.

Please be respectful and kind. RIP Queen Elizabeth II. I pray for comfort and peace for the Royal Family.
