That must be hard for you. It’s normal to feel sad when someone moves away.

When three of my close friends were on the other side of the world, I found that there were 3 options which really helped.
1. msn or some other chat service - when I used this, it felt like I was talking to them in person
2. long-distance phone cards - these are affordable, so we were able to talk to each other for an hour on the phone
3. email - if I couldn’t reach them because of the time difference, I sent them an email

I found that these options allowed me to communicate to them as if they were sitting next to me. After a while, I felt as if they had never left.

Of course, another option, is that one of you could fly over to visit the other. With flight sales, you can find a discounted price. Then you can see each other every so often.

It’s okay to feel sad about this. However, it’s not a complete separation forever. With modern technology, you can still reach each other.

When my best friend moved from England to America I was a mess, we still called each other every now and then and she sent me flowers on my birthday etc. I dealt with it by moving away my self I moved from England to Spain and we are both in England now even though we thought we would be gone forever. You need to find ways to keep yourself positive and remember wherever she is in the qorld she is still your friend. Also you will make new friends I did and now we are both in England again our new friends and us make up one big group now

i lost my best friend once when i was in high school and we wrote each other letters thru the mail but one day the letters just stopped coming i dont know what happend and i have not yet been able to find her i hope 4 a reunion someday i still think of her a lot and wonder if she is doing well but i dont know now where she is or how to contact her i sometimes get the old letters out and read them from time to time or look at a picture of her that i have and it helps me when i feel down about her i hope this helps and remember even though we may loose a friend we always have a friend in god and jesus all my best and god bless

When I was 13 my best friend moved back to Italy, where she was born. It was very hard for me (and there was no internet back then, so I couldn’t even email her!). It’s gonna be hard for a while, but someday, you’ll be happy to have friends abroad, ’cause it gives you an excuse to go travelling and visit :).

One of my best friends once told me that if someone is your friend, they’ll stay your friend no matter how much distance is between you. My mom and I are like that — we live in different cities, but it always feels like she just lives next door, ’cause we keep in touch so much.

I hope that will be the case for you.

Have you ever seen Fiddler on the Roof? There’s a scene where Tevye says goodbye to one of his daughters, who is going off to Siberia on the train. They say the best goodbye I have ever seen, and I often think of it when I have to say goodbye to a good friend, at least for a while.

Hoddel: “Papa, God alone knows when we shall see each other again!”
Tevye: “Then we shall leave it in His hands.”

You can substitute “the Universe” or “the Fates” or whatever you want for God. I always find the idea comforts me a lot.

Try to get her to introduce you to new ppl b4 she leaves?

Do you think maby you depend on her too much? you are kinda using her to make yourself whole, be strong, start venturing out on your own more, try to make new friends before she leaves, take the first yourself, don’t stand back and depend on her to make new friends for you. It may be hard at first, but you will get the hang of it. Good luck.

Hey,
This is really a difficult thing to deal with. I’ve lost friends to moves. I relocated and lost touch with a lot of my friends.
I’m still close to a few of them, I keep in constant contact with them through emails and such.
It won’t be the same, but at least you won’t lose her.
And you never know. It’s funny how things sometimes work out.
