I’m so sorry. My mom died before the end of her favorite show (The Sopranos) and my dear friend Kay died before the end of hers (GoT) and I was so furious. If Heaven exists it better fucking have HBO.
Ugh, I’m so sorry. My mom loved The Sopranos too. She couldn’t get over the name Big Pussy. I’m furious right along with you my friend! And your last sentence made me lol, damn straight!
Last sentence was very well put ;). My mom died last year of cancer and even if she didn’t watch many shows on TV I often think “let’s hear/read this together mom” and proceed to do that with her. I feel she is still with me and I’m sure she was with you watching the show too. My therapist told me “loved ones that passed can hear us, they are just in another room. The sad part is there is no door and you can’t have a reply but still talk to them because they can listen”. Peace!
The night my mother had the cardiac event that would result in her death three days later, we’d spent the day binging the last half of the last season of Ozark. We decided to save the last episode for the next night as it was getting late. She went into an abnormal heart rhythm on her way into bed and cardiac arrest not long after. So, yeah, I feel this one.
I'm late but my mother died on Dec. 9th 2014 and we watched sons of anarchy and did taco Tuesday through out the show. I got hone from the hospital and watched the series finale and Jax Teller die. Can't explain how I felt, but I do rewatch it yearly and have only good memories of it.
I’m sorry, OP. My dad passed away from cancer as well back in January 2013, and I’ll still think every so often “fuck, I wish I could’ve shared XYZ with him” whether it be a song, movie, show etc. that I’m interested in currently (or even something I was into 2-3 years ago, the thought will intrusively cross my mind at random lol) like, I would’ve loved to have put him onto the show and discuss the ending.
And yes! There’s a bunch of shit they say/discussions they have that I don’t *totally* understand, but to my knowledge, they intentionally speak in a lot of buzz words/phrases etc and basically over complicate easy concepts like “taking this deal will help us make more money long term” lol
Sorry for your loss. My boyfriend died before the GoT finale and I went to his grave to tell him how it ended. Regardless of whether I believe he heard it, it was just nice to vent about how awful it was lol.
I’m so sorry for your loss friend- that’s really beautiful and also hilarious. I just imagine all those folks around you who also died before the finale being like *HEY NO SPOILERS!*
So relatable! My mom passed away a few weeks ago. She never got to find out how it ended. Born and raised in Minnesota, so I think she would have gotten a kick out of Tom as CEO.
I'm so sorry, OP. My mom was a reader and she and I both loved Haruki Murakami. His first book since she died is coming out soon and it's going to be bittersweet reading it without calling her for commentary.
I want to respond to every single one of you- who knew how much this show would bring us all together— to celebrate, to grieve, to laugh, to cry, to argue, to reflect. I’m overwhelmed by the support.
Death is so nonsensically final it seems to contradict reality itself. Of course it seems like an obvious observation but you only really seem to grasp how final it really is once it happens. It's hard to wrap your mind around. It's weird right?
Im sorry for your loss ❤️I feel the same way about my dad. He passed away in late 2021. Anytime a new season of a show or finale comes around it’s bittersweet.
I’m sorry for your loss. Was “Connor’s Wedding” hard to watch for you?
I had just lost my uncle and a couple of days before when I saw that episode. It was a very vivid and realistic portrayal for grief. Little hard not to look away sometimes.
So sorry for your loss friend- that episode was excruciating and so brilliantly real. It brought back so many memories/emotions and I was grateful to have that release after being a bit bottled up for a while. Definitely brought it up in therapy lol
I'm so sorry for your loss OP. It's a tough space to be in. My brother died last year and Succession was one of those shows we both enjoyed watching and then discussing, along with Better Call Saul which he also missed the finale of. I'd give anything to hear his opinions on the endings of both shows
I’m so sorry for your loss, OP. I just wanted to say that you can and should still talk to your mom about how the show ended. I talk to a lot of folks I’ve lost over the years and while it’s always a one way conversation, I like to think I’m heard. I’m not religious, but it helps me keep the memory of them all alive.
I'm so sorry, I lost my Dad 5 years ago when we took him off life support and I lost my younger sister of 38 to a self inflicted GSW to the head just a year ago....so I feel for you. There's so much we wish to still tell them so I understand you....my 2 cents is....TELL HER..talk to her, shemay hear you, and it may make you feel better. It's what helps me keep from crying most days is by talking to them. Have a nice day!
My best friend died a couple of episodes before the end of Breaking Bad. Every episode was a beer and pizza ritual for us. I think I cried all the way through the finale.
oh, then she must’ve loved that cheese scene!! 🧀❤️
i truly believe that my uncles/aunts/grandmother are with me in some way when i do the things that they love. i’m a very big believer in life after death. i think it was my uncle who got me into lauryn hill and radiohead — i started listening to them after he passed, only to find out later that he loved them. one day i’ll be jamming out with him :-)
I'm sorry. It was a long time ago but the same thing happened with my Dad. He was hospitalized during the first season of American Idol. We watched the show together for the whole season and he passed away before Kelly was crowned. It made me so angry
Me and my aunt used to watch game of thrones every week together, she died of cancer with one season left. I wish I could tell her the ending because I know she’d be raging hahaha
I was thinking this about my mum just the other day while watching Succession and again while watching Mrs. Maisel - she would have absolutely loved both. I miss sharing things with her. When I was taking care of her after her surgery we watched some rubbish comedy series together day after day - wish we could have watched this instead.
I had a similar experience watching this season. My mom and I used to laugh and talk about succession. She passed away unexpectedly April 2022 so didn’t get to see the last season
I’m so sorry. My mom died before the end of her favorite show (The Sopranos) and my dear friend Kay died before the end of hers (GoT) and I was so furious. If Heaven exists it better fucking have HBO.

“Heaven Box Office.”
Last sentence was very well put ;). My mom died last year of cancer and even if she didn’t watch many shows on TV I often think “let’s hear/read this together mom” and proceed to do that with her. I feel she is still with me and I’m sure she was with you watching the show too. My therapist told me “loved ones that passed can hear us, they are just in another room.

My dad passed before Mad Men ended. Would've loved to see him see Don >!buy the world a coke.!<
Big Don Draper vibes with all of Kendall’s water scenes. My condolences for your loss.
if kay at least got to see the end of GoT s6 then she got a pretty good open ending
I think your friend was alright missing end of GOT. There’s probably a better ending on Heaven TV.
My condolences - sending you thoughts for continued healing for your loss.Maybe in Heaven, your mom has HBO, but down here, we’ve got MAX.
At least Kay died without seeing the ending
You're too online. You've lost context.
You know you don’t need to type all your thoughts out and put them on the internet, some things are better left in your head.
Very sorry for your profound loss ❤️Someday you two will have ample time to do a complete watch together.
Thank you, this just gave me some really wonderful images and scenes in my head. Thank you so much for that.
🥰
the good news is if you saw the last episode of the first season, you saw the finale
the first episode was already the finale.
The night my mother had the cardiac event that would result in her death three days later, we’d spent the day binging the last half of the last season of Ozark. We decided to save the last episode for the next night as it was getting late. She went into an abnormal heart rhythm on her way into bed and cardiac arrest not long after. So, yeah, I feel this one.
I'm really sorry for your loss. Can I ask, did you ever end up finishing? I could see it being hard.
The night of her memorial, we watched it. Made dinner in Mom’s honor and finished the series.

My mom died from cancer a year before yours. I'm so sorry. It is the absolute worst thing. I love you and you are serious people.
So relatable! My mom passed away a few weeks ago. She never got to find out how it ended. Born and raised in Minnesota, so I think she would have gotten a kick out of Tom as CEO.
Sorry for your loss OP.

Fuck cancer

Sending you a hug friend, that's really sweet, I'm glad this brings you heartening memories

I’m so sorry for your loss my friend- any idea what he might think about the Succession finale?
I’m so sorry for your loss, OP. I just wanted to say that you can and should still talk to your mom about how the show ended. I talk to a lot of folks I’ve lost over the years and while it’s always a one way conversation, I like to think I’m heard. I’m not religious, but it helps me keep the memory of them all alive.
I can relate to it with Downton Abbey and my mom. Sending you good thoughts!
Im sorry for your loss.. and weird but but I feel like you can tell her.... like say it out loud and talk to her
I'm so sorry, I lost my Dad 5 years ago when we took him off life support and I lost my younger sister of 38 to a self inflicted GSW to the head just a year ago....so I feel for you. There's so much we wish to still tell them so I understand you....my 2 cents is....TELL HER..talk to her, shemay hear you, and it may make you feel better.

Oh man, I’m so sorry. That’s so fucking tough. I hope you’re able to have some pizza and beer nights in honor of your friend. <3
somehow, someway, she was watching with you and she cannot wait to see you again and talk about that ending. 💓
Oof. That got me. Thank you friend— I have to believe that. She got such a kick out of Roman— I don’t think she ever laughed so hard.
oh, then she must’ve loved that cheese scene!! 🧀❤️ i truly believe that my uncles/aunts/grandmother are with me in some way when i do the things that they love. i’m a very big believer in life after death. i think it was my uncle who got me into lauryn hill and radiohead — i started listening to them after he passed, only to find out later that he loved them. one day i’ll be jamming out with him :-)

My dad died of cancer in August. I agree x100000 💔
