If you're a This Is Us fan, every Tuesday night it's become customary to grab a box of tissues and a bottle of wine, and prop yourself on the couch for an hour of sobbing.
But last night's episode was so exceptionally sad, it made us feel emotions we didn't even know existed. Here are just a few tweets that said exactly what our broken hearts were feeling.
1. The exhaustion:
Dammit, #ThisIsUs! I mean it this time! I don't have anymore tears to give you. I've been sobbing my face off for 16 WEEKS and I'm exhausted
2. The ducks:
Just finished #ThisIsUs and need to be held like a baby. 😭 Just when I think I can make it, those damn ducks!! 😭😭😭
3. The sobbing:
I didn't just cry, I openly wept after #ThisIsUs & even after I think about it some more I still cry @NBCThisisUs, powerful ep & writing
4. The inevitable awards:
This week's #thisisus summed up:
5. The record-breaking amount of tears:

6. The aftereffects:
I just finished This is Us .. 😭#ThisIsUs
7. The feels:
I. Can't. The emotions are just too much #ThisIsUs
8. The very real loss:
Does anyone know how many bereavement days you get for a fictional character who's not technically family? #ThisIsUs
9. The love:
If we could do away with all the crap on tv and just watch #ThisIsUs every night, I believe we could achieve world peace.
10. This truth:
Not going to work today due to emotional issues aka been crying like an idiot for hours over my precious William #ThisIsUs
11. THE DAMN DUCKS:
Me when they showed the ducks @NBCThisisUs #thisisus
12. The anxiousness:
I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT JACK DYING Y'ALL BETTER GIVE ME A COUPLE YEARS OR SO HELP ME #ThisIsUs
13. The perfection:
I've watched about a million hours of television in my life. And those last 5 minutes were as beautiful as it gets. Thank you, #ThisIsUs.
14. The weird new feelings:
When a tv show gets you caught up in feels you didn't know you had #ThisIsUs
15. This perfect life motto:
Note to self: "Roll down the windows. Turn up the music." ❤️🎹 #ThisIsUs

Wow, #ThisIsUs was so incredible. A ode to grief, loss and pain all whilst celebrating life. Kudos to the writers and actors. Astonishing.
18. This truth:
Haven't been this sad/upset/emotionally distressed about a fictional character since they killed Mufasa on Lion King . #ThisIsUs 😭
19. This important question:
Sobbed uncontrollably at William's death on #ThisIsUs, I have no clue how to prepare for Jack's. Will there be grief counseling for fans?
20. This beautiful tribute:
"The two most important people in my life is the one there at the very beginning and the one here at the end." -William #ThisIsUs
21. This perfect alternate title:
They should call it "This is us crying" #ThisIsUs

WILLIAM PAYING HIS RESPECTS TO JACK I AM DONE @NBCThisisUs #ThisIsUs
