What to do when your best friend moves away from you?
If your old pal tries to pull you into any drama, say, “I don’t want to fight with you” and walk away. Try to stay in touch if they moved away. If you lost your best friend due to a move, you can still maintain the friendship from afar. Call them often, write letters, and commit to a standing weekly Skype call.
How do you get over a breakup with a friend?
Try journaling about the situation. Or pen a letter to your best friend, but don’t send it off. Use this as a way to get things off your chest, especially if you find it difficult to open up to other people in your life. When you are done, you might destroy the letter to symbolize it being in the past. Return or store mementos.
