Many Oprah fans found it hard to say goodbye to The Oprah Winfrey Show on May 25, 2011, but some of her ultimate viewers are experiencing "Oprah withdrawal" and "Oprah depression."

The very last Oprah Winfrey Show aired today, May 25, 2011. There were no special guests, big giveaways or suprises. The show simply featured Oprah Winfrey standing on stage alone while she shared her wisdom with viewers. Oprah's fiance Stedman Graham was in the audience along with the fourth grade teacher that inspired Oprah as a child. It was a special hour for all Oprah Winfrey fans who take Oprah's advice to heart. Hopefully Harpo Studios will release a DVD of Oprah's final show for those who missed it.
