11 Stages Of Grief For McDreamy's Death On "Grey's Anatomy"

Season 11 of "Grey's Anatomy" messes with all of your emotions. Just when you think things are going right, Shonda Rhimes decides to break our hearts again. McDreamy's death was one unlike any other. You never saw it coming, and you couldn't help but feel for Meredith and the kids. Once again Grey's Anatomy got us in our feelings and here's a few stages of grief we all went through when watching McDreamy's death.

1. Denial.

There is no way McDreamy actually died. Him and Meredith have been through just about everything and they always survive. Always.

2. You are confused beyond measure.

How could this have happened? He was just moving back to Seattle to be with his family. Why would he be dead? It's McDreamy.

3. Despair sets in.

Shonda Rhimes, why would you do this to us? We have been loyal every season.

4. Anger.

There was no warning. There was no indication that he was not going to be on any more seasons. There were no major hints. Where did we go wrong?

5. Sadness.

If there was one character we didn't want to die it would be McDreamy. Who will take the cake for best hair now? Who will have that winning smile?

6. Sadness turns into depression

Do we even keep watching the series? Meredith is alone taking care of three kids. We cried that episode and just about every episode after that.

7. Frustration comes into play.

It's not anger anymore. It is now frustration. We are frustrated that these things keep happening to Meredith and their family and the rest of the cast for that matter. It's like you know something bad is going to happen when the song "How To Save A Life" comes on.

8. The blame game.

You start blaming McDreamy for even leaving in the first place. Oh and that kid who decided to flip his dad's car...you're not on our happy list. McDreamy helped all of you! We can also blame technology for making him reach for his phone.

9. Isolation.

Some people just don't understand the death of your favorite character on a television show. It hits you hard. Unless your friends have also seen it, no one understands what Shonda has put you through.

10. Withdrawal.

We miss McDreamy. We want you back. We need you back. The show will never be the same without you and Meredith and the story behind you two.

11. Acceptance.

If Meredith Grey can tell the doctor who messed up on treating her husband that she is going to be ok, then we are going to be ok. Meredith barely cried after his death. We probably cried enough for her and her whole family. If Meredith Grey can do this, then we can do this.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
