Young Sheldon ended on May 16, 2024, with an hour-long finale centered on loss and family farewells. The description “Sheldon’s hardest goodbyes” captures the episode’s emotional framing, not a verified ranking: the official material points especially to the Cooper family’s grief and Missy remembering her father.
When the finale aired
CBS scheduled the one-hour Young Sheldon series finale for Thursday, May 16, 2024, from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. That is the announced broadcast window, not a current schedule. CBS’s announcement established the date and length; CBS News published a goodbye-focused retrospective four days earlier, on May 12. CBS News’s retrospective

Why the farewells feel personal
The goodbye is not only about a television series ending. The official description for CBS’s “Saying Goodbye” video says Missy reminisces about her dad while family members say their final goodbyes. That places the Cooper family’s bereavement at the center of the finale’s farewell context. CBS’s “Saying Goodbye” video
Mary, Missy, and Meemaw are identified in official finale materials as important members of Sheldon’s family, grounding the story in the relationships around him rather than in a single goodbye to one person. The available official description does not quantify anyone’s grief or establish which farewell is objectively the hardest. CBS’s finale preview
