Although I understand what she must have been going through, I have often thought that her behavior was atypical for a well-bred Victorian lady. Even today, I feel uncomfortable around "weepers and wailers" at viewings and funerals - and I don't consider myself a hard-hearted lady.

I admire strong women.

I think Jacqueline Kennedy as well as Ethel Kennedy set the highest of standards for dignity under duress.
