For more than a decade, "Stranger Things" shaped Millie Bobby Brown's childhood, career, and closest relationships.
However, when the cameras finally stopped rolling on Netflix's blockbuster series, the actress discovered saying goodbye was far harder than she ever imagined.
Instead of celebrating the end of a hugely successful chapter, Brown found herself battling unexpected emotions, questioning friendships, and struggling to process life without the people who had become her second family.
Millie Bobby Brown candidly reflected on the emotional aftermath of finishing "Stranger Things" during a live recording of Josh Horowitz's "Happy Sad Confused" podcast in New York City.
Although she has long been known for her upbeat personality, Brown admitted she wasn't prepared for how deeply the ending of the series would affect her.
