This scene changed my life forever, helped me set myself free from my trauma and pain, "You're alive, what's a little pain compared to that?" Powerful, beautiful writing
For myself, it was this one, and the scene of Claire and Nathaniel Sr. at the cemetery, but instead of being depressing, it was like a carnival or fair. Claire’s visions of her father were always of a care-free, laid-back version of him. I totally get it, because when I think about my best friend or “talk” to her, in my head I’ll always see her as the healthy teenager I remember growing up with, not the struggling addict she had become when she died, because I know that wasn’t REALLY her.
This scene was so important to me that I have a tatto of it in my forearm. Time to time when I am having a hard time this tattoo help me to gain some perspective in life. Amazing tv show!
During some of my toughest moments in life.....my brain has plucked this scene from my memory and I end up reciting the dialogue in my head. Especially “you can do anything - you’re alive.” Six Feet Under is such a gift....something only some of us can truly understand.
One of the most eye-opening lines for me. Hanging on to past pain. Being depressed. Reliving trauma. It does not seem like time well spent. And yet, I cannot let go of the pain. And along the way, dimming the shine of the light I could be while I am fortunate enough to be on this planet. So strange.
Life is tricky. Holding on to the pain is just a way we continue to punish ourselves or get stuck that we deserve it in some way. We don't. This life is so fleeting and in 100 years everyone on this page will die. We are allowed to be feel pain. We are need to allow ourselves to let it go. You control it.
I had a similar experience. I watched the show since the day it started and I was 14 at the time. It is such a part of me because I was exposed to it at that age. That's such an awkward time growing up and to gain so much perspective from a show like this is really something to be grateful for. I watched the series again years later and I can see how it has affected me.
Might be my favorite scene from the entire show. So beautifully written, and the truth in this hit me right in the heart. I have learned so much from this scene only. Damn I miss this show so much.
Seems like a watch this once a month just to bring me back down to earth. I wish I never saw Six Feet Under just so I could watch it again for the first time. It'll always have a special place in my heart
I feel ashamed for typing this but every time i watch this scene....it just makes me tear up. Yes it is a show, Just something so real about this part.
i'm re-watching the series after ten years and this scene got through to me very powerfully again! It's a masterpiece of acting and writing and i agree with its philosophical point.
It's just an amazing moment. . . so applicable to our lives, and it really chokes me up. . . I watched this show from the ages of 12-15, and I loved it then, and when I rewatched the series as an 18 year old last summer I realized how amazing this series truly is. . . It's a shame I've met no one my age who has watched the series, bc I could talk about it for hours
If you were to watch the show again, you’d probably pick up on a lot things new this time around, it’s been a while since I’ve watched, I’m due. That’s how ya know this is a great show, you can watch it many times and learn something new each time.
Six Feet Under is by far the best show EVER made! I watch it every night before I go to sleep...it helps me unwind from a hard day. This scene is so beautiful and pure...why do we hang onto our pain so much?? Whats the point??
This is IMO the philosophical high point of television. At least the one I know. My favorite point is "existential bullshit". Because it is so true. Existentialism is a property of life. But only in a relatively modest sense. It is just normal to struggle with what to go for, how to feel about stuff, how to act, what social role to play and all the other good stuff. That and more encompasses the sensible side of existentialism. Where it goes all bullshit is the second it goes detached. THE sense of life. THE purpose. THE way. THE... what the fuck? People are no convenient store packaged products. And neither is sensible philosophy. Philosophy which is not born out of the essentials of life is, by its very virtue, nonsense. And the essentials of life are the same thing as the essentials of you. Figuring them out can be tough - but once you got them on focus, you can tell pretty well all the things which are not them at all. Including abstract existential philosophy.
@ModernArtMasterpiece It really grew me up fast. The show gave me a very mature perspective, and it has helped greatly. . . . great to see there are fans younger than 40
I loved the way that many 6FU episodes left me with a quiet moment to fully appreciate what I had just seen. This was close to being the best example. The camera pulls away, David leans into his father as the music comes up. The sound of the rain, symbolic cleansing and nourishment. Fade to white. Perfect. I always want what I feel to last forever. Heck, I can keep coming back here.
THAT FUCKING SHOW! Because of that amazing show I'll never find another one better haha. Crazy what this little masterpiece has brang into every life of the ones who watched it
If I met a girl my age who loved this show I'd be ecstatic. I talk to professor's and advisors at my school - people who I'd love to talk to in detail and pick their brains. I've talked to some great people about life and the world. One was my psychology professor, another an English professor, and neither watched the show. It's almost a curse being exposed to something so great but having no one to share it with. It's like being the only person in the world to ever see Shawshank Redemption
Maybe you do not exist anymore in this world, but I saw your thoughts now and I want to join you, I share your feelings 14 years later. 6 Feet Under is in my top 5 series and Shawshank Redemption is in my top 10 movies. I hope you live a great life in your full potential, wherever you live.
One of the best scenes in the series. I wish there were people my age who watched this entire series. I've yet to meet one person so I could discuss how great it is.

i think this is my least favorite season but i enjoyed it, after "That's my dog" it got better, this episode is wonderful, probably one of my favorites.
@berriesandcream33 I like you're taste and empathize with your predicament. . . . i finally met a girl close to my age, and she was 22, and we talked all night about it. This scene is awesome to revisit, I quote it a lot

For me it was the dream scene with Nate and Lisa. Yes, this was/is a great series.

Its amazing how one scene can change your perspective.

One of the most profound moments in TV history.
One of the most deepest, well written and best scenes ever right here!!
I thought the same thing.... Very deep and so true... I love this show
I cannot recall how many times I have come back to this sequence.
God the way he says "What if it is." at the end. Gets me every time.
So glad that someone digs this scene as much as I do. I was thinking that I'd have to post it myself!
Can’t believe how often I think about this scene. It resonates so much.
I always watch this scene whem i’m having a depression about my trauma. It changed me a lot.
It is so obvious a fact, just to let it go... We always hold onto things just because they give us a kind of identity. None, we are none.
One of the most eye-opening lines for me. Hanging on to past pain. Being depressed. Reliving trauma. It does not seem like time well spent. And yet, I cannot let go of the pain.

I’m jealous I was watching Dawson’s fucking creek didn’t start watching till my 20s but have seen it over 60 times to make up for lost time ❤️
same experience! Sometimes I look back into my life and the stuff that happened to me and somehow this show seems to be always connected to it.
I didn’t find it until my early 20’s, but it’s still the show that I believe made me a better person.
Might be my favorite scene from the entire show. So beautifully written, and the truth in this hit me right in the heart. I have learned so much from this scene only. Damn I miss this show so much.
It’s like the “Paris, Texas” ending. Just words nuclear annihilating your soul.
this scene changed my life
Seems like a watch this once a month just to bring me back down to earth. I wish I never saw Six Feet Under just so I could watch it again for the first time. It'll always have a special place in my heart
I feel ashamed for typing this but every time i watch this scene....it just makes me tear up.
Yes it is a show, Just something so real about this part.
Why shame?
Something this beautiful moves you ... shows your sensitivity and ability to appreciate the truth - when all the noise is stripped away.
i'm re-watching the series after ten years and this scene got through to me very powerfully again!
It's a masterpiece of acting and writing and i agree with its philosophical point.
"What if it is.....?" Bless you

And now you're almost 30. Goes by quick, doesn't it?
Haha. Amazing you came back to reply to yourself after 11 years. I love this show too.
If you were to watch the show again, you’d probably pick up on a lot things new this time around, it’s been a while since I’ve watched, I’m due. That’s how ya know this is a great show, you can watch it many times and learn something new each time.

1 person has no idea how awesome SFU is
and that is how you make a Tv show! years later this show still hits me in all the right places! thanks for a great show.
I always think of this scene when life gets me down. Beautiful scene... Miss that show. Thanks so much for posting.
I just watched this episode again today, and this is still one of my favorite scenes of the entire series. Thanks so much for posting this.
"What if it is....?" give me the chill every freakin time...
Thank you for posting this. This is my favorite scene in the entire series.
best line for advice. Respect
I think this is the first scene of this show I ever saw, might've even been this exact upload. Glad I stumbled on it.
My favorite line on forgiveness & letting things go
Yes ... especially forgiving yourself. That's the best kind of freedom.
En definitiva, esta es la mejor escena de Six Feet Under
Ha! I've met many people in my age (17), who watched it.
As a video: one of the best scenes of the series. Incredibly beautiful.
If I met a girl my age who loved this show I'd be ecstatic. I talk to professor's and advisors at my school - people who I'd love to talk to in detail and pick their brains.

Thank you, Nathaniel.
That person didn't get it. Best show ever. Masterpiece in my book.
Thanks for uploading this! One of the best shows ever!
Been looking for this scene for awhile..
MORE THAN LIFE BROUGHT ME HERE THANKS FOR THIS
This scene is excellent,great way to end the season.
Because it is true. So true. It's right in front our faces.
"What if it is?"
So beautiful...
