Every reader knows this to be true: we relate and love fictional characters more than real people. And just when we are getting attached to them, writers choose to just out-and-out kill beloved characters. What can we do except sit in a corner and cry over their deaths? Not kidding, we have all done that, especially for the deaths of these characters:
- Sirius Black, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Just why J. K. Rowling, WHYYYYYYY? You just had to go ahead and kill the guy we all loved!

George R. R. Martin, your readers shall never forget this. NEVER.

When one of the most innocent characters was killed off, we understood that this series is going to be heartbreaking. We can still hear Rue’s whistle in our heads!

We are still weeping for this one. John Green, why must you torture us with these feels? WHY?

For all those who have read Shadow Lines, we know you stopped reading when Tridib died. So heartbreaking!

We understand why he had to be killed, but that doesn’t mean we are over his death. No, just NO!

If we had to pick the most horrible death from books, it has to be Piggy’s. Just. Not. Done.

Okay, we know this is a true story, but no one should be allowed to write about dogs dying. Extremely sensitive topic.

Admit it, you loved Rorschach, even when he was not the best character. Needless to say, when he died, we were just like WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?
