Aren't we all?Im not crying, you're crying!
OK, I'm going to stick my head up here (and likely get it lopped off) as I have stayed silent on this issue ever since Carrie passed - but Carrie had changed so much by the time she was filming the new Star Wars movies, due to whatever surgery she had, the Botox or collagen that froze her lips , the changes to her voice and her "Crazy aunt" persona in personal appearances, that I literally cannot reconcile her in my mind to the person we saw in the 70s, 80s or even early 90s. She was unrecognizable to me and functionally equivalent to a completely different actress in the role in TFA. Did not look like Leia, did not sound like Leia, did not act like Leia - especially gone was that twinkle in her eyes that we saw in the original trilogy or even some of the other films she did like Blues Brothers. I am happy for her that she was happy with herself, because that's a good place for a person to be – but I think I would've actually preferred that they left the character out of the film.
I understand aging (hell, I am doing it myself, and poorly) but there was a lot more than that going on with the drastic changes to Carrie, and not just in the physical sense. And while I mourn her passing, it still hasn't sunk into me that the actress I loved from all the films in the 70s and 80s has passed – because the person she was late in life was so – to me – irreconcilably different from that earlier person. It's almost like a different person with the same name died.
Can open, worms everywhere. Apologies in advance.

I thought she looked great in TFA, she clearly made a massive effort to get in shape for the part and it showed.That was 100% my Princess and I can't wait to see her slap Poe around in this film.
