The more I think about it, the more depressing the ending was. It's as if Chase was mirroring Livia's words, "It's all a big nothing".
These characters have developed so much in the past 8 years of the show, just to be cut off like that. But there never really is closure for anything in life, so I guess that's what Chase was trying to convey. Still sad though.
It was a show about family.
Just like The Waltons.
