To have to get up each morning to have the eyes of the world on you whilst grieving , must be exceptionally difficult for him and William but on a lighter note, Gordon Brown looks like he’s had a night on the tiles :0/

After the death of a loved one you gradually learn to accept what happened but time does not heal anything.

Zebu - // But surely King Charles must realise, the passing of his mother at the grand old age of 96 is a good innings! //

The problem is, she was his mother, and she's gone.

i would suggest that the fact that she lived to an old age is absolutely no comfort to him whatsoever.

I spoke to a friend whose dad is a lot older than her mum - she is in her early thirties, and her dad passe at ninetyfour and she said, the next person who said he lived to a good age is going to get told. he was my dad, and he's gone, it doesn't matter to me how old he was.

She's right.

Grief is not a sliding scale, where the older your loved one, the less you feel their loss, that's not how love and loss work.
I have to disagree with you Andy. I'm sure he will accept his Mothers death as being inevitable eventually whereas the princes who lost their Mother at a young age would not feel like that.

Pimples would you like to tell me in a none cryptic form what you’re actually talking about?
He is very strong and already accepted the situation. His speech proved that in my book.

You have a book?
Should we be worried?
He's taken many a battering from the press over his 70+ years so he is well and truly hardened.

I agree, Vulcan.
Barcel - My point was, however 'expected' the death of his mother was, and at her age it became more expected with every passing year, that does not in any way lessen the grief he is feeling.

The princess did not die a natural death in old age, so there is no comparison in her death, or the impact on her children.

Rationally, we accept the inevitability of losing our parents.

Emotionally we are never 'ready' and when it happens, in most cases we are crushed.
Vulcanised at 15.02, I think we never 'accept' the death of our loved ones, rather we weave into the fabric of our lives, and there it stays, forever.
May I disagree with you, andy? I believe death can be accepted when it means a loved one is finally released from pain that is not always managed by drugs.
Of course you may!

Death is unique to everyone, and everyone's reactions are equally unique.

There is no one set rule, my post was entirely generalised, but I still believe my points are valid.

And given the uniqueness of death and reactions to it, so is anyone and everyone else's point, who has a view on the subject.
Quite right too, andy. Thanks.

Gowan then.

He could always take a lesson from our late Queen, his mother, who bore the trials of Succession and Coronation after her father's death with dignity and strength.

Her father was ony 56, and she was unable to be at his bedside as she was hundreds of miles away in Africa visiting the Commonwealth.
