Tear Jerker / Ghost Whisperer

• Some of the episodes but one of the episodes that really sell it is Melinda trying to help a ghost named Marty make amends with his loved ones left behind, after his suicide.
• We encounter the spirit of a young boy named Kenny who passed away in a train accident but the truly heartbreaking moment is where he tearfully tries to talk to his grieving father, apologizing for getting lost and trying to comfort him. Even more when he crosses over at the end
• Finding out that Andrea was Dead All Along
• In “Demon Child”, how Daniel Greene died. His mother was constantly neglecting him to work, and Daniel was feeling the sting of always coming second to her career. Because Christine never spent any time with him, Daniel became closer to his nanny, Suzanne. After Christine broke a promise to take him on a day out, Daniel lost his senses. He stole his mother car keys and tried to drive himself to the game, but of course, being only thirteen, he ended up crashing the car. Suzanne was able to get to him before he passed, but couldn’t hold off his death. His very last words were to her, as he looked at her and said, “I wish you were my mother.” Christine didn’t even make it to her son before he succumbed to his injuries. The fact that Daniel felt so unwanted that he wished someone else was his mother really hits ya where it hurts.
• Emily, the little ghost girl from "Drowned Lives", crossing over after her father reads her her favorite bedtime story.
  Emily's father: (trying to hold back tears after she leaves) Goodnight, little mouse...
• In "The Walk In", seeing how much Bryan Curtis' life went downhill after high school. Despite having been the local football hero and valedictorian, he couldn't adjust to college and ending up dropping out and being so down on his luck that he committed suicide. Especially sad as he was a genuinely Nice Guy, not a Jerk Jock deserving of such a downfall. Plus, the other ghost from that episode who inhabited his body revealed that he'd idolized him in high school and was sorely disappointed in how much he'd screwed up. And then the kicker that the other ghost's real reason for staying was to convince the friend that stayed by his side to the end to do their "bucket list" and not let go of her dreams kicks up a lot more dust.
• One episode featured a haunted dollhouse, haunted by the family who had once lived in the real mansion it was modeled on. They believed the husband's sister was an Illegal Guardian towards Sole Survivor Emma because they saw her at the house the night they died; Emma ends up feeling the same way after a discussion with Melinda. The truth? The aunt had come over because she thought she had seen Emma out on a dangerous date and came over to see if her niece was home but misinterpreted the carbon monoxide poisoning induced slumber and Emma's stuffed-with-pillows bed for peacefully sleeping and the shocked look Emma interpreted as confirmation of Evil Aunt was mixed emotions over realizing she hadn't lost all of her family.
• At the end of the first season, a plane suffers a malfunction over the Atlantic and everyone aboard suffocates. The plane continues to fly and comes down just outside Grandville. The whole plot line is awful, but there's a scene where the pilot describes what happened on the plane - a valve was left closed accidentally, they lost oxygen, everyone fell asleep and froze to death. He was the first to die and his spirit walked the plane while the others died one by one, helpless and alone.
  "With no airflow, everyone just - went to sleep. There was nothing I could do except watch them sleep. And wait for them to die, one by one. Wait for it to become a ghost flight."
  • There's also the panicked grab his spirit makes for the wheel when he realizes the plane is out of control. He can't touch it and his fear and resignation is painful to see.
