If today is marred by a nationwide tissue shortage, we know that the Parenthood finale is to blame. 

Bidding adieu to the Bravermans was a long and arduous process that left viewers emotionally depleted. Watching the Original Six become the Original Five and spending time with our favorite onscreen family for the last time was tragic indeed. And throwing in that Friday Night Lights cameo was just a recipe for disaster tears. 

But, if last night's episode did anything, it brought us closer together. No one was immune from the heartache, not even the A-listers. Celebrities everywhere watched along with America, and more importantly, cried along with America. And, they also poured out their feelings on Twitter for our collective commiseration. Because everybody knows that if a celebrity didn't tweet about it, it didn't really happen. If you've the strength to revisit the finale's emotional highs and lows (and really lows), read on.

And of course, not to be outdone, some regular folk chimed in as well.
