“I have always said what keeps me going is the fans. Knowing we move you and inspire you,” she tweeted Monday. “There are so many people out there who have suffered tremendous loss and tragedy. Husbands and wives of soldiers, victims of senseless violence and parents who have lost children. People who get up each day and do what feels like is the impossible.”

“So it [is] for these people and in the spirit of [resilience] I am honored and excited to tell the story of how Meredith goes on in the face of what feels like the impossible,” Pompeo added.

She concluded, “I hope you will join me on her journey.”

Dempsey’s character on Grey’s Anatomy was shockingly killed off the ABC series last Thursday. “McDreamy,” as he was known to fans, was attempting to help victims of a car accident when his own vehicle was struck by a tractor-trailer, causing him serious injury. Pompeo’s Dr. Grey, ultimately decided to take him off life support. Dempsey had starred on Grey’s Anatomy since its premiere in 2005.
