OH i know exactly what you are going through. Lisa a few years back had this best friend for years and they were in the same class for as long as they were friends. Well we moved a town away and she lost touch and it tore her little heart out. It was so sad. It was hard on her for a bit but she ended up making new friends. It was hard for her to comprehend that she would make new friends when it was happening though. It all just takes time. Lisa will still talk about her friend to this day and it has been a few years. Now though it's more of a remembering thing than a "i really miss her" thing. What I did for Lisa was I just took time out everyday to talk to her about it while she was going through it...I think that helped more than anything else I could do. I'm sorry to hear that she is going through this right now. I know it probably hurts for you just as much as it does for her. I know it broke my heart when Lisa went through it. Take care,
Karrie
My poor sweet daughter starts 3rd grade tomorrow and literally her 2 best friends are not returning this year. To make matters worse, one friend moved out of town and the other one went for school choice and is attending the same school as the other one!! she's so anxious and I feel so bad. to make matters worse, we haven't settle Connor's placement yet so he's not attending and she's begging me to let her stayhomewith him ("It will be better for him if I 'm home" she's smarter than the average bear) I just feel so bad, I get all worked up about Connor that it didn't even dawn on me that she'd be going thru a tough time. I feel for you and your dd. We often forget that our "normal" ones have issues too. How clever and wonderful of her that she cares so much for her brother and is aware how much she helps.
