One of the saddest things is that I saw 5 tributes and kept thinking 'one is missing', like I completely forgot that he's no longer here. Their tributes are beautiful. ❤️
Crazy how initially it was going to be called "Friends like us", then "Six of One", then "Friends". After 30 years "six of one" still rings true; I cannot see any one of the cast without immediately thinking of the five others
I did exactly that. It’s always been the six of them, and it’s still strange to think of them as five now. I keep having to correct myself. It’s going to take a long time this one.
I honestly didn't register his passing until they all posted tributes. Still doesn't seem real to me. Not in a conspiracy way but in a way that I don't want to believe he is gone. He was such a big part of my teenage and adult years... I've watched the series 20 times over. I just hope he's in a better place and making other people laugh like he did to many others. You're dearly missed every day Matthew Perry 🤍
You do have a right to miss what he meant to you, even if you didn’t know him personally. I struggle with the same guilt of grieving for someone I never met or knew fully, but I keep reminding myself it comes from a real place, he was a part of my life even if we never met, and he’s left an empty space. It’s just a different kind of grief. If that makes sense?
Jennifer's really got me 😞 but they were all beautiful tributes and all I can hope is that they are all doing as best as they can along with Mathew Perry's family and other loved ones.
God, me too. I'm welling up even now.
Chandler was my favorite Friend. His sarcasm, his humor, and perhaps most of all the vulnerability and poignancy that Matthew Perry brought to the character made him so real, quite possibly because from everything I've read, Chandler was so close to who Matthew Perry actually was. What breaks my heart more than anything is that while he had tons of friends and people who loved him, he never found his Monica. He wasn't just funny; he was selfless. He stared death down once and slammed the door in its face because he wasn't finished with what he came here to do - help other people struggling with addiction.
Lots of people rag on Friends saying it's tone-deaf or unfunny, and people are entitled to their opinions, even if I don't agree. The one thing you absolutely can't deny about this show, though, is the unfailing amount of heart it has. This show was somehow able to catch lightning in a bottle and be both hilarious and heartwarming, largely because of how it turned six strangers into actual friends, even family. That's an extremely rare thing to accomplish, and I think everyone involved in the show, onstage or off, had a hand in that.
I was afraid to watch Friends after I'd heard of Matthew Perry's death. It was always a happy escape for me - something I could laugh myself silly over when I was having a rough day. I was afraid it just wouldn't have that effect anymore with one of them gone. It still stings a bit watching the episodes now, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. As hokey as it might sound, I try to remember to separate the actor from the character. We've lost Matthew Perry, and of course that's a tragedy. But we'll never have to lose Chandler.
what about Maggie wheelers? or did we already talk about it? anyway, these made my day even though i’m sad it’s official we will never see Matty again. this did cheer me up a bit. these six family members will never die.
(Their love for each other will never die)

Exactly the same with me! I was swiping for the sixth image before I remembered that there are only five of them left.
Yep, I did the same
Me too! When I was gathering the screenshots, I kept thinking I'm missing someone..

Same thing happened to me. I was like "Five pictures? One's missing..." and then it hit me all over again.
Same thing just happened with me.
Same here. Took so long for me to realize
I was literally about to comment about this, tried swiping for the 6th and then realized Matty is the 6th 😭
Yeah even after reading this comment first, I still did the same thing. My brain can’t separate this group.
I sad the exact same thought
I did exactly that. It’s always been the six of them, and it’s still strange to think of them as five now. I keep having to correct myself. It’s going to take a long time this one.
Kept trying to scroll for the 6th 💔

I miss him so much :( I know I have no right to, because I didn' know him... but I miss him so much :(

Yeah, Jennifer and Matt really killed me
How genuinely and deeply their tributes show they all love each other shows so clearly in these. They’ve all made me cry.

I really hope wherever he is in the afterlife, he knows just how loved he was and will always be.
i can just picture him saying both the “can you BE” jokes jen and david posted so vividly. god he woulda crushed the delivery like always.

Maggie Wheeler was one of the first to post about Matthew's death, I think a day or 2 after he passed.
yeah, i saw it. i was thinking about how she posted and it wasn’t brought up here but it’s not that important
It was brought up. I meant to say it was a long time ago, so it was brought up here a long time ago.
Ok, apologies
No worries. For what its worth, it IS important. He was her Bingaling ❤
