40 Gut-Wrenching TV Moments That Broke Your Heart
40 Gut-Wrenching TV Moments That Crushed Your Soul
Cozy season is here, and let’s face it, moving from your couch is just not an option. So, why not grab your trusty weighted blanket, put on some sad Snow Patrol music, and have a good cathartic cry? But wait, there’s more! You’ll also need a box of tissues and maybe some stale Krispy Kreme donuts that you thought would make you feel like Hailey Bieber. Hey, emotional eating is a thing, okay?
To save you the trouble of searching for tear-inducing moments, I’ve watched forty of the saddest TV scenes from recent memory. From heart-wrenching tragedies like Denny’s passing on Grey’s Anatomy and Hot Priest breaking our hearts on Fleabag, to Big Bird learning about death on Sesame Street (not prepared at all) and Conrad and Belly’s dramatic saga on The Summer I Turned Pretty. These moments are as diverse as they come, but they all have one thing in common: they’ll leave you sobbing like a character in a Shakespearean tragedy.
Writing this article has turned me into a shadow of my former self, drowning in a puddle of my own tears on the way to Wonderland. So, hang on as I recover. (And probably force an unsuspecting friend to watch Jack’s fiery demise on This Is Us and Episode 3 of The Last of Us). Ready? Let’s dive into the most gut-wrenching TV moments that will leave you emotionally wrecked!
But before we begin, two important things: 1) Many of these topics are heavy, so proceed with caution. 2) Spoiler alert! I’ll be spilling the beans, so don’t say I didn’t warn you!
