This scene brought me to tears. My wife passed away in my arms three months ago at the age of 28. One moment we were sitting together watching a movie and two minutes later I'm giving her CPR and begging her not to go. Tell your spouse you love them every single day, because you never know when it'll be the last time.

My Dad lost my Mom just after their 52nd wedding anniversary. Dad was utterly crushed. Like Archie, Dad spent his entire life assuming and planning for him to go first so that Mom would be looked after. He simply wasn't prepared for being without Mom. And, in her own way, Mom was exactly like Edith. Dad passed exactly ten years to the day after Mom, and their funerals were even on the same date, which happened to be Mom's birthday and the anniversary of their first date. No doubt that was the longest ten years of Dad's life, but at least they're together now.

I don't watch so the tears will flow but to see O'Connor's and Brisebois' amazing performances. The writing is superb too: how to get into and out of the core of the scene and not leave the viewer at home depressed at the end, revealing that Archie is still Archie. He hasn't given up yet and isn't going to give up now, if for no other reason than Stephanie needs him and he needs her.

Boy do I identify with him now! My own wife died on September 21, 2021 after only four months from being diagnosed with cancer. I cried for over a year (still do, did today). If you haven't lost a spouse, you have never experienced this grief. I felt like him.. I always thought I would go first.

So moving. Such wonderful acting. My father was like Archie. A World War Two combat veteran, staunch conservative, nose to the grindstone. And like Archie in this scene, my mother passed before dad, and dad said he expected to go first. But he lived another 11 years beyond mom to age 93. I lived with him his last 3 years and got stories from him about his childhood and the war I had never heard before. So bittersweet.

Watching Carroll O'Connor was always like watching a master class in acting. The detail and consistency of his character work was sublime in every sense, always matched and complemented by Jean Stapleton in their scenes together. Like all great actors that can also be great clowns, he could rip your heart out and hand it back to you and still make you laugh through the sobs. He is sorely missed.

The beautiful thing about this scene is that in real life, Jean Stapleton was still alive. It's easy enough to bring up real emotion for a cast member who really died, but this... wow. When Jean Stapleton was first approached with the idea of having Edith die, she said she didn't care, because Edith wasn't a real person. Norman Lear replied "She is to me." And she was to all of us.
