A 93-year-old woman has recently gone viral after her iconic reaction to her ex's death - and despite how morbid the concept might sound, her reaction really makes up for it.

Lillian Droniak has taken the world by storm after she got herself all dolled up to attend her ex's funeral and posted it as a nonchalant 'Get Ready With Me' on TikTok.

It all started when the senior citizen took to the video-sharing platform on November 26 and revealed that one of her ex-boyfriends, Bruce, would no longer be calling her because he died, which is what set off one of her story times.

"January me: does our ex ever stop calling???" she captioned footage of herself holding a flip phone before cutting to her laughing at a picture of his tombstone: "November me: yes."

"RIP Bruce but now you can't call me," she added in the now-deleted clip.

While it might have just seemed like a joke to some, a few days later Lillian filmed a 'Get Ready With Me' video before heading to her ex's funeral, saying she wanted to go see him one last time to send him off.

"I don't want to put too much makeup on - I don't want to steal the show," she told her followers in a video that has now been viewed more than 45 million times.

She then put on some blush before putting on a splash of color on her lips in homage to the late Bruce.

"You can't forget the lipstick," she continued, opting for a shade of baby pink. "He used to like this color."

After her makeup was done, it was time to get her outfit sorted and Lillian being Lillian obviously went for a slinky black fur coat - not fully appropriate, but iconic nonetheless.

"I don't want to look too nice because this is a funeral," she added.

Once the event was done and dusted, the 93-year-old took to TikTok again to discuss her outfit one more time: "This is the outfit I wore to my ex's funeral, but I didn't want to be rude and film this at the cemetery, so I'm doing it on my deck. I was best dressed." she wrote in the on-screen text.

"I think I slayed the funeral," she added in the caption. "But RIP Bruce you were handsome."

But while her followers commended her for "slaying", a woman claiming to be Bruce's daughter sent her an angry letter, slamming her for joking about the sensitive occasion.

"Hello Lillian, I am the daughter of your ex that just passed away. I can't believe you made a joke on TikTok about him passing and you slaying at his funeral. Your [sic] rude and I hope you stop 'slaying' really soon... if you know what I mean," the email read.

Savage.

However, she didn't seem to be too bothered by the reaction, and instead doubled down on her approach saying: "I never regret slaying even if it's at a funeral and it sounds like Sue doesn't know how to slay."

You gotta do what you gotta do, especially in the climate we're in.

RIP Bruce.

Keep slaying, Lillian.
