Q&A for How to Say Goodbye to Your Best Friend That Is Moving

Tell her that the friendship you had with her was valuable and it was great to have a friend like her.

Don't worry. If you guys are good friends, you'll stay in touch no matter what. You can always text, Skype, FaceTime, etc. Have faith. Rather than worrying about her departure, you should concentrate on giving her a nice farewell.

Try to explain to your mother that your friend just moved away and it's a little hard for you, and ask if you could at least speak to your friend once or twice during the week. If your mother still says no, then your best bet is to explain to your friend that you can only text on the weekend. I'm sure she'll understand.

Try and have one last sleepover or hang out together before they leave, and make a time capsule with all your memories the day before he/she moves. You'll get through it.

Try using Skype or FaceTime to talk to her. You could also use a texting app like WhatsApp, Line, or SnapChat, or just use regular texting.

See if you could give a touching speech in which you should include your friends and how much their friendship meant to you. They should remember it their whole lives, and you can also give them small gifts if you can.

Try thinking about some of your good memories, in the beginning it might make you more sad, but be happy that you had the opportunity to meet her. You can always FaceTime each other, maybe make a special day of the week where you call her up to talk.

I would write them a long letter for every way they could feel. For example, you could write a letter for when they're feeling sad, and label it "for when you're feeling sad", etc.

Try to find some friends in the next grade, or the grade under you. Surely you'll find somebody.

Yes, you can give her a photo frame. Give her that photo frame with a smiling face, and tell her you care about her.

Getting homeschooled doesn't mean you'll never see your friends again. It just means you might see them less. Don't say goodbye, say see you later.

If your friend is moving, saying goodbye shouldn't hurt her feelings. If anything, she should appreciate your kind gesture.

Just make new friends. I'm sure there is a person out there waiting for someone to befriend them. As for your friends who are moving, keep in touch with them and maintain your friendship.

That stinks, but you do have a whole year, and it shouldn't take more than a week or two to get rid of bedbugs. While you can't see him, you can use Skype, FaceTime, call, text, etc. You can keep using these after he moves, and if he's not moving TOO far, you might also schedule a visit.

You can talk to her online or in text messages or maybe call each other once in a while. If she is moving somewhere not too far, you can arrange to hang out occasionally.

Hug her, let her know that you love her and that everything will be okay. Having a friend move away is very hard.

Of course it is okay to cry.

As she's leaving the country, she probably has a lot of practical stuff on her plate, as well as a lot of emotional stuff in her mind. Was it a really long message you wrote? Was it very heavy on the emotional side? Perhaps she needs time to reflect on it and a simple reply of "Hey, thanks!" is not enough for her, and she wants to take her time to write an equally-good reply. Give it time. And remember, she's moving; that takes a lot of arranging things.

There's nothing you can really do about the fact that your friend is in trouble, but just try to support him/her, and be there if he/she wants to talk about it. This is probably a really scary and upsetting time for your friend.

Goodbyes are always hard! If you met online but your friendship continued in real life, you can look forward to a new chapter in your friendship, once again on the web. Remember the great times you enjoyed together, and keep in touch even when you're far away - you might be able to see each other again in the future!

Just follow the steps in this article. You could also try giving her something special to remember you by. You could try writing a letter if you don't want to say anything out loud to her.

I had the same thing happen to me last year. If I read correctly, you said she might be moving. Before you start getting upset, make sure it is definitely happening. If it is, there are other ways to stay in touch. My friend and I still talk to each other every day. Before she left, I also gave her a homemade gift that she could remember me by.

A lot of craft stores have scrapbooking materials. You can just collect some pictures or other 2D items to include (such as movie tickets or letters), paste them in, decorate, and viola! You have a scrapbook.

It depends, if you have an inside joke you would like them to remember, you can give a gift to remind them of that. Otherwise, you could give them a journal to write about their new experiences with a note from you in the front, friendship bracelets, or half of a "Best Friends" necklace.

That's a great idea! One suggestion is to write all the things you love about her and let her know how great of a friend she was.

That can be tough, but you can't prevent it from happening. The best thing to do is spend as much time as you can together, and then once you are apart, call, video chat, text, and keep in touch! Don't think negatively about the situation. Instead, think of how cool it will be to have a friend in Australia, and how much fun you will have when they visit.

See if she needs any help with moving, and maybe make plans to visit each other or send fun letters to each other. I'm sure she will be happy knowing you want to help her, and that you're trying to keep in touch.

You can hang out with your friend since they are not leaving until a day later, and you can do the things that you like doing together.

Maybe try another form of communication. Text her and tell her exactly how you feel. Maybe mention the idea of meeting up again sometime in the future. If this person is a true friend you will stay in touch.

You could try write letters or send postcards, if possible, although this can be expensive. if she has a computer emailing could be a possible option. Don't worry about growing apart, that happens sometimes. When you meet again, it will probably be just like before she left. You could try discussing methods of communication with your parents and hers, as they might not realize how they are limiting your time together.
