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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
