I think it is natural for you to be upset that your best friend is leaving. It is like you are being deserted. I'm sure she is feeling many of the same things you are and has to be scared. I hope you can talk it out before she leaves. You have had so much loss in your young life that this has to feel like another person leaving you. You have such a full plate raising your siblings, which is a tribute to what a great person you are. Maybe try reaching out to a person at work or school and try and make some friends you can occasionally meet for coffee or a quick bite to eat. Hugs |
