That Post Cry Exhaustion

Yesterday, I finished re-watching the tv series Six Feet Under.

I won't give away any spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen it and might still want to, but man oh man, those last few episodes.  And while I remember being absolutely gutted by the series finale the first time I watched it, I had the same experience last night when I got to that end of the show episode.

The show, in general, talks about death as it's based in a funeral home and the family that runs it.  It's not a depressing show exactly, for such a potentially heavy topic, but it does make you think and remember that we all die.

I generally stay away from popular topics here and on social media but there has been a lot of death in our public awareness these last few weeks.  And it's been hard.  And sad.  And interesting.

But I'm not intending to talk about mortality or anything, just to say how draining it is when you have that deep seated kind of a release from crying.  And I would say it's the sign of a good show... writing....acting...directing...all of it, to have that kind of an impact.
