Are we even supposed to worry about why and how the Departure happened? Dwelling on that sort of means you're missing the whole point of the show.
I mean, the show is about the characters moving on and living life without them, but it's still a mistery meant to hook people to the show and in the end you usually expect answers.

It's just a plot device, though. The Leftovers is about coping with unexplainable tragedy, and the Departure was the writers' way of creating that on a large scale for all characters in the story.

It's about coping with any tragedy, not just unexplained tragedy. It's the filmic equivalent of a dissertation on depression.
To each his own though so can't blame him!
