McDreamy farewell

OMG did I tell you that I love #greysanatomy series? I think I mentioned it before. 

So I’ve been pissed over the past weekend because Derek died, tragically. And i’m not the only one who’s very angry about it, everyone does, I mean #greysanatomy fans of course. I read it somewhere that some of the fans decided to stop watching this show. I understand. The thing about #MaredithDerek is what this show is about. That true love does exist.

Last night episode was great. I'm so inspired and it makes me want to write about it. Finally, #greysanatomy is getting real: there is no such thing as fairy tale. Maredith losing the love of her life, so does everyone. People come and go, they'll drift in and out of your life.

Anyway, what I love about this episode is we can see various ways of people overcome their difficulties in their life.

Meredith’s disappeared
Derek Died. it’s not easy for Mer to handle it. So she left. She needs time to process, to accept. She is not runaway, she paused. And it’s ok. We do have that moment, when you're fully aware that you can’t bare the pain, and you just want to get away. Not to avoid the problem, but to gain your strength back. Change is never easy, give yourself 5 minutes to adapt.

Burn patients
To treat skin burn patient, the doctor must peeling the burn skin layer by layer until they exposed healthy tissue in order to help a new skin to grow. During the procedure, Ann warned by Jayjay (other patient) that it’s a very painful process. From that day, Jayjay always give her support by telling funny stories in order to help Ann undergo the painful procedure. Do you reminiscing this moment? I bet ya do. The first to help you up are the ones who know how it feels to fall down. They’re know the drill, they've been experienced it before, and they know how to handle it. That’s what friends are for, right?

Later, Jayjay passed away, leaving Ann dealing her pain all by herself. You can’t always rely on someone when the going gets tough. It’s your problem, it’s your pain, and it’s your process. Friend is like first aid, but you can't depend on others for your own trouble nor your happiness.

Amelia’s denial
Amelia witnessed her dad being murdered, she watched her boyfriend overdosed, she lost her baby and her brother, Derek. It’s too much for her to handle it. So she managed her loss by acting like it’s not a big deal, play a joke about her brother's death. She suppressed her pain and become sarcastic. She also become workaholic doctor, give her life to save others because she can't bear any loss. It’s natural to feel this way. Denial is a self defense mechanism to protect yourself from grief. But by avoiding it, doesn’t mean the pain will gone forever, its still there, waiting to burst. So, you have to feel it, feel the pain, be grief, and be destroyed to rebuild our self again. That’s the entire point on being alive. You move forward. 

Oh Shonda Rhimes, this episode was great, now I can forgive you. LOL. 

Bye Derek. You'll always be our McDreamy.
