Reading the last book in a series

I hate ambiguous endings. I can cope when there is going to be another book. But if it's the end of a series, it drives me mad. I like it to have a definite ending.

I can feel quite upset when a series ends. They become such big parts of my life. I'm not sure I'd say I miss the characters so much, but the experience of reading about them and going on their journey with them I very much do miss.

It's hard when the author dies and you know that there will be no more stories and its unfinished.

I do miss the characters, I spent so much of my childhood relating to fictional people as there were so few non fictional ones, that it feels sort of akin to being dumped.

You could always make your own story about how it all ends up.

I could never have that level of imagination. But it would also feel wrong for me. They aren't my stories so it isn't my place to finish it. I wouldn't like it if anyone else finished it either. For me a book/story could only be finished by it's author. I'm not one for head canon or whatever these things are called.
