Top 10 Saddest Vampire Diaries Moments

Kai casts a spell linking Elena and Bonnie's lives, rendering Elena unconscious while Bonnie is alive. In a series of visions or dreams, Elena and her friends and family say their goodbye.

Elena is the best character on the show. I literally cannot stop crying every time I see this. How do you watch TVD without Elena?

When Stefan and Elena broke up because of Katherine, it was so painful.

I loved the and they were goals and the best couple on T.V.. End of discussion.

I really voted for this one because the look on Stefan' s face broke my heart

My eyes were bawling out and I sobbed out loudly, she didn't deserve this to happen to her, and this is shown by how her heart remained pure even when she died. All the factors that lead up to death such as her relationship with Elena and Jeremy, not to mention John's monologue and the music in the background. This was the saddest moment pre-season four in my opinion.

Jenna's amazing. I hated Katherine when I saw that she selfishly allowed Jenna to die. Yet Katherine gets all the credit. People sympathize with her. It is so unreasonable.

I loved her it was so sad when she died.

This is so sad!

Caroline's dad didn't want to be a vampire so he chose to die instead.

Everyone loved Alaric, for what he did for Elena and Jeremy by taking them in. And when he died! The scene became more painful when they all said their goodbyes

This was the saddest thing ever. Their goodbyes made me cry.

I wish he didn't die he was Elena's last parental figure.

Stefan was the one who saved her and Matt. Elena sacrificing herself, Stefan respecting her choice. Then she became a Vampire.

The actual saddest

Damon and Ric's friendship is extraordinary. And when Ric died, I know that a part of Damon just died, too.

NO... This was so sad. And all the time Damon was talking Alaric was there listening.

The saddest moment EVER! I cried, and I don't cry in movies. When Damon was talking and Alaric was listening and Damon tried making jokes to hide his grief. :'(

This was the saddest moment for me. I almost cried man and I don't cry

Liz Forbes (Caroline's mom) dies of glioblastoma in this episode.

When Caroline is a kid and asks her Mom if she is going to die.

Liz's death has me bawling every time. Beats everything else for me

Always my number 1. I cried like a baby

My heart. Most people don't regard Stefan in good taste, but I was overly attached to him since the beginning. Everything he had ever loved, his dad, his mom, his brother, Elena, Lexi, and Katherine at a point, he ended up losing. When he finally found happiness and a life with Caroline, he gave that up too. His death reminds me of all the things he did when his switch wasn't flipped, of all the things human Stefan did, and never once would I want him to change. He's perfect even with his flaws.

Not only his death but Caroline's phone call to him and the fact that they just got married broke my heart.

This was the saddest episode ever. whenever I need to cry I literally go back and watch this episode because it's so sad. I don't know how it's only ranked 13th

this is the saddest scene! I cried myself to sleep so I basically cried for 3 hours and then I woke up the next morning crying like why couldn't they just have Matt Donovan hold katherine!

I literally sobbed when Stefan dropped Enzo's heart on the ground. The look on his face as he falls to the ground dead destroyed me! And Bonnie's pained screams absolutely broke my heart. Benzo was absolutely my favorite couple throughout the entire series and I cried so hard when Enzo died.

Benzo was the best couple on the show, so pure with so much development
Bonnie and enzo deserved better and every time I watch this scene I cry.

This was so sad I started to hate stefan but he was in his ripper phase so I couldn't blame him. I definitely cried.

The Worst tragedy which I never expected. After Stefan(Humanity-Off) ripped Enzo;s heart... I was hoping that this has to be someone's dream. But, its not the case.

Damon doesn't seem to get emotional so when he did it was heartbreaking.

Their friendship is unlike any other. It's too bad she didn't get to stay long.

They was so happy

It broke my heart when Jeremy died. Seeing Elena so sad made me cry so much. And when Elena burnt down the house it was probably the saddest thing ever.

When Jeremy died, Elena couldn't handle the pain, she decided to switch off the pain by switching off her humanity.

Nina's acting was honestly incredible in this scene. I cry every time.

Literally made me cry for hours, such an emotional scene.

This for my friend and I was one of the most sad moments in this episode. When Caroline phones Stefan and tells him how much she loves him and that she understands that he sacrificed himself for his brother, right before he dies. Currently crying while writing this.

This was heartbreaking!

He had never give up on her, he just let her realize her wishes for life and he decided to give her the choice to go to him when she is ready. He never gave up on her

He never gave up on her

I cried every time I saw this scene
Damon comforts Rose as she lies feverishly in bed. She remembers her old life, on a sunny hillside with horses all around, and dreams Damon is there. He's controlling her dream. Rose says she misses being human and mattering to people. She thanks him for making the pain go away. She says she's not afraid anymore. In bed, he gently lets go of her hand.
On the sunny hillside, Rose challenges him to a race to the trees. As she counts to three, back in bed he slowly takes out a stake and positions it over her heart. When she reaches 3, he drives it in.

I was so sad, she deserved better.

No matter how many times I watch this show, Bonnies death always has tears rolling down my cheeks. I don't know, this whole show makes me so emotional but Bonnies death brings the water works.

Bonnie is amazing

He was finally at peace

I feel for young isolated Damon. This kind sir deserved better, as well as what he went through with the Augustine alone. Katherine and elana both chose Stefan and as a 4th devorced single 48 year old gramdma I know how it feels to not be the one, you see.. my ex Albert was an optician and e claimed my eyes weren't pretty enough for his effection he told me this and left me after my first kid... clemon, and then my other ex husband bob left me for my mum when he got me pregnant with my son.. Johnathan. And then when my otherrr ex Timathy devorced me after we had our little girl wang He left me for my other daughter clemon who at the time was 19. So I know what it's like to never be the one

At first I hated Damon but then as I kept watching the show,I began loving him so much.But what really had my tears run down like a river is when both Katherine and Elena chose Stefan over Damon,when he was always the one who loved them but didn't get it back.And when he confessed it to Elena,he had to compel her so she wouldn't remember him saying it,it was one of the saddest moments for me..

This was so touching
