We're used to getting gutted by season finales [1] on Grey's Anatomy [2], but this week's episode hit us especially hard. And the worst part is, it wasn't a finale. By now, you probably know the terrible fate of Dr. Derek Shepherd, who will obviously stay in our hearts forever [3]. That is, once we come to terms with our loss. The Internet had a veritable meltdown on Thursday night as the episode aired, and no one, not one person, was OK by the end. Keep reading to see the most appropriate reactions to Derek's death, and then soothe yourself by remembering how much Grey's Anatomy just totally gets you [4] sometimes.
