Warning: This post discusses in detail the most recent episode of Grey's Anatomy. Spoilers ahead.

By now, Grey's Anatomy fans are accustomed to the show ripping their hearts out from time to time -- whether it's an ultra-sad case of the week, a character's emotional roller coaster, or the occasional upsetting departure of a beloved member of the team. (We still miss you, Cristina.)

But this week's episode delivered a shocking exit that trumps all others, with the death of Derek Shepherd.

Yes, Meredith Grey -- the person with the worst luck on the fictional Grey's Anatomy Earth -- is now a widow.

And, as you might guess, fans aren't taking the indefinite end of one of TV's greatest love stories well.

They are, however, all mourning quite differently, as evidenced by our gallery below.
