HIMYM ran for nine years, and a big part of the show’s mystery was who the Mother was. However, when you look back, you can see that there were a lot of signs that the character was going to die. In the end, the show revealed that the Mother had died six years before the story of Future Ted.

The writers of HIMYM were great at coming up with clever clues and hidden Easter eggs that brought back old episodes of the show. At times, there were also foreshadowing moments that many people didn’t notice until they saw the show a few times. In the show’s first season, for example, the name of the Mother was revealed. This is what Ted told his kids. He told them about how they met their Mother, but then told them he was kidding. In this show, the Mother’s name was revealed to be Tracy McConnell.

As the show How I Met Your Mother went on, fans started to worry about what would happen to the Mother. Some fans thought the character was dead, and that’s why Ted was telling his kids the story. It was terrible that many of those theories came true when Tracy died sometime in 2024. HIMYM had a lot of hints about the character’s death. These are all of them!

Ted will tell it in the future.

During the nine seasons of HIMYM, Future Ted told his kids the story of how he met Tracy and how he fell in love with her. The mysterious Mother character was always talked about in the past tense. This added fuel to the fire about the idea that the Mother was dead when Ted started his story. The show also used flashbacks and flash-forwards to move between different periods. Tracy did not appear in any of the flashbacks. The people who were hoping that the Mother was alive and well didn’t like this at all. It doesn’t matter if they didn’t want to tell anyone who she was. There would have been ways to show her presence without giving away too much about her identity.

TED’S FAVORITE BOOK IS A BOOK.

How I Met Your Mother season 1 came to a close with the penultimate episode. This episode gave the first clue about Tracy’s fate. Ted went to a matchmaking service called Love Solutions. Finally, he was told that he had been paired with the person he wanted “The perfect woman. To get Robin back, Ted didn’t meet the woman. As a result of not meeting her, some information from the match’s file was made public. One thing said that her favorite book was Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Márquez. The book’s plot would show how Ted, Tracy, and Robin would act in the future. This is how it works:

Stone at Marshall’s Tailgate Graveyard

There was another clear clue until How I Met Your Mother season 7. Marshall went tailgating on the day after New Year’s with his father in the episode “Tailgate.” Marshal set up the tailgate at his father’s grave, Marvin Sr., the year before because his father died. In time, more and more people came, and Marshall let them join in on the fun. At the gravesite, there was a gravestone that said “Mother.” This is what the marker said. With no one else named, it looked like this was a well-thought-out clue about what would happen.

This is the song that was played at the train station in Farhampton.

In the opening scene, season 8 of How I Met Your Mother began with a look at the Farhampton Train Station. Before the wedding reception, Ted was sitting on the platform. In the next part, he went back and told a story about Victoria and how he realized that he was still looking for “The One.” Tracy came out of a taxi and stood on a platform a few feet away from Ted. Even though viewers couldn’t see her face, this was just a few minutes before Ted and Tracy met for the first time. The song “The Funeral” by Band of Horses was playing when the scene showed the two as strangers for the last time. In the series finale, the Mother’s fate was revealed, and this song was chosen as a link to that.

It was the Time Travelers episode.

HIMYM season 8 “The Time Travelers, future versions of Ted and Barney, tried to get Ted to go to Robots Vs. Wrestlers with them. Ted was telling his kids the story when he realized that it had been twenty years since that night. Ted wishes he could go back in time and see Robots Vs. Wrestlers again. Instead, he wanted to spend more time with Tracy. It was a picture of him running to Tracy’s apartment and telling her they’d meet in 45 days. A few weeks ago, Ted said he would do anything to get an extra 45 days with her. This shows that their time together will be cut short.

In Tracy’s wedding speech, she thought the wedding was fantastic.

The biggest clue that Tracy would die soon came just a few episodes before the end of How I Met Your Mother. In the year 2024, Ted and Tracy were shown having dinner at the Farhampton Inn. Their relationship had become like an “old married couple” because they know each other’s stories so well now. Afterward, Ted thought of a story about Robin’s wedding day. The report ended with Robin’s Mother showing up at the wedding as a surprise to everyone. Tracy didn’t understand why that would be a surprise. “What mother is going to miss her daughter’s wedding?” Tracy said before Ted started to cry.
