I actually love this feeling even though it's sadness. Because it is evidence that I really enjoyed the story, the world the author created, and the interesting people inhabiting it.
While this feeling is sad and a bit depressing, the antidote, for me anyway, is to crack open another book in search of that next comfortable world which I can snuggle into safely.
I think it beats the alternative: finding yourself in a world you don't really want to be in (real or fictional).
