Grey’s Anatomy: Meredith Grey & Derek Shepherd Were Off a Rough Patch When He Died
Everyone remembers Grey’s with the Season 11 heartbreak as Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) walked the line and almost got involved with a coworker while away in DC. He and Meredith Grey had some bitter arguments and there was a rift between them.

Plus, they never got to enjoy the reunion really on Grey’s Anatomy. Then, Derek died thanks to medical incompetence. And there’s not much joy in watching the incompetent doc that caused Derek’s death then drop dead himself despite the Grey-Sloan docs’ best efforts.
The bottom line is Meredith Grey was left reeling because it was a senseless death that was totally avoidable. Then, it almost seemed like she went into a numb state on Grey’s Anatomy. She functioned but was sleepwalking to a large degree.
