Final episode
Posted by Nero3k@reddit | thegrandtour | View on Reddit | 12 comments
My wife passed way August 13th. TG and TGT was the show we would sit and watch together. She didn’t know crap about the cars, but she loved the three of them. I haven’t been able to watch it. I’ve started it a few time. I couldn’t get far into it without turning it off. I thought I would try again since my daughter out at practice. I’m just sitting here in tears. Knowing this is the last episode is so hard. She was really looking forward to it. She would have loved it. I miss her.

So sorry! My late wife passed away three years ago and loved TG and TGT as well! She got excited over cars where they’d not been much of anything before and would be genuinely joyous when we saw a super car on the streets. I miss her and genuinely loved the time we had bonding over a silly little motoring show. Time will help heal but it won’t take away your memories!

I simply cannot imagine your grief. My wife and I share a love of both shows to the point that we took a trip to England and visited Diddly Squat and stayed at James’ tavern, so I understand that part of it. May her memory be a blessing, and remember that she will be there with you as you laugh through your tears.

One day you’ll be strong enough to watch it, I promise. Sending you love & strength x

Obviously not at all the same. But TG/GT was a bonding thing for my grandpa and me. He died three years ago, and missed the best of TGT.
I held out for a bit, and when I finally watched it I legit turned into a blubbering idiot every time I thought about it, for a good two weeks. But it helped. It wasn’t dignified. But I’m better for it.

If I may share my experiences with grief:
Let it flow. You might be scared it will over take you and you can’t get out. You will find the bottom. Then you can look up and see the beautiful experience that life is and why suffering is a key part of the experience not to be ignored but appreciated.
And let those tears come. And every time the feeling comes up it will be easier to let it wash over you.
May you find peace, my brother.

It sounds like she would get mad at you for not watching it.

My condolences for your loss. It took me a while to muster the “courage” to watch the last special. Enjoy it with a smile because the three was able to give us decades of entertainment and road off into the sunset on their own accord.
