[Mod Note: Partially OP's own title] My best friend is moving really soon and I just found out. I don't know what to do without her? I didn't cry when she told me but it just hit me that I won't get to see her everyday anymore. We have been friends for so long, we are really close and We have so many memories. I'm really sad and I don't know if I'll ever find another best friend.

Hello sweetie,

What a lovely warm and affectionate girl you sound. Of course you will miss her, she has been part of your everyday for so long, so perfectly natural that you feel like this, which demonstrates even more how genuine you are.

Miley and Kenj are right, NO distance has ever stopped two people being close, and it wont with you and your friend. Just think about new ways to stay close, the web-cam is such a good idea, along with email, and if you have a cell phone( mobile phone) texts too, and even Skype, it's a way of calling people via your computer. And may be you could both arrange regular visits throughout the year.

May be create an online blog where just you and your friend message, and write about things happening in your life, a kind of diary of your friendship. Or may be create an online photo diary ( private ) NOT on facebook, but something more one to one with her, so both of you still FEEL part of each others everyday life.

No reason to feel this is the end of your friendship, it isn't, just a new way of having to communicate, and once you see that this distance hasn't stopped you being close, I'm sure you will relax a little more and perhaps begin to look forward to the time when you're BOTH actually going to get together again. Be creative in finding new ways to bring her into your life..it may be FUN!

In the mean time, keep an open heart for others to enter your world, as having such a genuine personality as you seem to have, I'm sure it won't be long before you have made new friends too.

If you like, keep us posted about your friends move, and the ways you are both keeping in touch.

Love Jilly x

Too deal with it, make new friends before she goes, because you dont want too be completely lonely when she goes. your probably pushing other people away without realising it, as you become closer to your bestfriend, everybody else distances themselves. Well, You can make your situation one shade better by making more friends x

Kenj agony auntKeep in touch with her by email and phone if possible, theres no reason why you cant stay friends. When your older you can go and meet up again for short visits.

Your young and will have other friends as you get older.

I have friends the other side of the world.
