How should I deal with the loss of my best friend?
Reality is about coming together - experiencing - challenges - separation - and loss. All things change and with that the dynamics of fridnships.
There are times in our lives when we have a best friend with whom we share everything. We share experiences and understand each other in ways no one else can. Your best friend is usually of the same sex - but sometimes may be of the opposite sex. You spend much of your free time together - share your secrets and fantasies - meet for dinner - travel - and enjoy the daily conversations your have in person - on the phone. This is the first person you call when something exciting happens in your life.
Then one day everything changes. Lets say she moves away.
How will this affect your friendhsip? This all goes to the emotions and maturity of the friends involved.
In the best case scenario - they move away and you keep in contact maybe fly to see each other once in a while. Now with free long distance calling you can call them just as much as you would if they were still here.
It is normall to experience feelings of abandonment - anger - among the other negative emotions.
We are ruled by our emotions - especially when we are young. Life in the physical is about learning lessons based on choices that allow us to experience the full gamut of emotions while we are here. No one's lessons should be taken away - no matter how much it hurts. We all make mistakes - and often pay the price with the loss of a friendship.
The pain of losing your best friend is like a death. Alas this is a lesson in letting-go and understanding that nothing lasts forever. You will find another friend.
The pain of separation is part of the human equation. It takes us to the primal pain when your soul spark split into twin/two aspects - one above and one below - when half of your consciousness spiraled into a physical body as half waits above - in spirit as a 'guide'. Your mission.... remember who and what you are. Create balance to prepare for the reunion of self - the merging of yin and yang - culminating with the separation of consciousness from your physical body as you spiral back to the nature of who you are - a soul spark of light
