Losing contact with friends after moving away

[Brem]

I know we all have had friends move away or you move away from a group of friends. I had a friend to moves to Texas and I never got his new address. So I lost contact with him. It sucks, because we were good friends from kindergarten to middle school. I tried adding him as a friend on Facebook years ago, but he never accepted my request.

But have you ever had a friend move away on you? Or maybe you moved away and lost touch.

I wonder why your friend has not accepted your friend request.

That must be hurtful when you lose contact with a close friend, and sometimes it becomes difficult to deal with it as his/her memories always remain alive in our minds, and we wish to meet him/her. I have been in this situation and found it difficult to overcome the feeling, but with time things got fine.

For me, it brings a quiet kind of loneliness at first. There’s a sense of distance, not just physically but emotionally too. As time passes, I adjust, but it makes me value deeper connections more and realize how much shared presence actually matters.
