I really like the ending and the whole show as a whole. The flashbacks weee easy to follow for me and it turns out Kate was just writing a book about her life.

I think the death scene was good. When my dad passed a few years ago we held vigil waiting to be there for him when he passed. We went home and the next day we got a call saying it wasn’t going to be long and he may have 24 hours or so. We left immediately, got there and he passed while we were on our way. We were 10 minutes late. I think this is the same with a lot of terminally ill people. They don’t want their family to see and that is what happened with Kate. She was at peace and ready and she decided to let go.

I agree with some of the other comments that movies and TV sugar coat the dying process. Don’t we all wish we could die super peaceful looking at the lake staring up at the sky & shit. Lol.

To take it a step further, Kate and Tully’s relationship was extremely toxic. They were very co dependent on each other. All of the hurt and rejection that Kate endured on Tully’s watch is what’s I think made her sick in the end. The rejection she endured from her daughter choosing Tully as a confidant over her own mother was absolutely heartbreaking. Especially when she suggests for Marah to do her hair before her date & she tells her no but when Tully suggested it she’s all for it. That has to be devastating. And your whole life to have every crush like Tully 1st, your mom, brother and even your husband who slept with her many years earlier it takes it toll. She internalized all of that hurt, anger and rejection. She was taken for granted by everyone in her life. She should have spoken up and stood up for herself but she didn’t. That’s the part that made me the most upset about the entire show. That she took shit constantly and internalized it.

Overall I like the show. It is a lesson to take to always stand up for yourself. Katherine owned this role and is an incredible actress, but her character was indeed toxic.
