On the Season 6 finale of The Vampire Diaries, Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) left us seemingly for good. We knew that Nina was leaving the show, but it was tough to watch her final episode without shedding a fewOK, a bucket fullof tears.

Spoiler alert: Elena isn’t dead, but she was put into a coma that can’t be reversed unless her BFF Bonnie dies. We won’t be seeing her for the rest of the series unless it’s in flashbacks because if Bonnie tries to find a cure, they’ll both be killed. What a twist, TVD!

To help cope with Nina’s departure, let’s re-live her time on the show. Throughout the day before the episode aired on Thursday night, she posted a bunch of throwback photos on Instagram, and they’re so sweet that you’re guaranteed to cry all over again. So grab some tissues and take a walk down memory lane with us, guys.
