Friend moving, and I am having a hard time

in Success after IF

We met a family in the NICU with Gwen, and the mom and I became really close. She had a daughter Nolan's age, and one Gwen's GA, who was 5 days older. We lived in neighboring towns (both in the middle of nowhere) Had the same OB, ect.

Her Hubs works for an International equipment manufacturer in our area, and got the call today that he is being transferred March 1. It just sucks. I know we have only known them for a few months, but we really got close, and were a great support for each other. We have play dates once or twice a week, and I really think that this will be hard for me.... I have never had a friend move away! I feel like I Am 7 years old!

    I'm sorry! Doesn't matter if you have been friends for a few months or few years, it still sucks. One of my best friends moved to Ohio when the twins were 5 months old. I still do talk to her at least 3 times a week!

    Yeah, length of friendship doesn't matter. You two bonded over something pretty emotional, and I would be hurting too about losing a friend like that. It seems such short notice. It's not like there is plenty of time to get used to it. Will you be able to keep in touch at least?

    I had a fast tight friend move last month.  I was crushed.  It gets better and we still talk all the time on the phone and on facebook but it is hard.  HUGS

    I became really close friends with one of my neighbors, just two doors down from our house.  She was a SAHM, too, and was right there with me during all my IF treatments.  She was (and still is!) such a great friend.  I used to throw a bottle of wine in my diaper bag and walk over to her house a couple times a week before our husbands got home from work.  We had such a good time.

    And then they moved :(  

    We still hang out a couple times a month.  She doesn't really live all that far, but it's not within walking distance and it requires more planning than when she lived next door.  

    I was super bummed and I know you must be, too.  It's hard to meet new people and even harder when great people leave us! 

    After THREE years, our IVF miracle is here!!!

    I know how you feel.  My best friend (in adulthood) is someone I knew for a relatively short time, but when she left it was really hard.  We keep in touch, but it's just not the same as having her around the block.  I hope it's an easy transition for you.  Hugs.
