How do I get over the loss of a good friend?

Question

So, me and my friend used to be so close. She was my very best friend. I've known her since third grade, but we lost contact when she went to homeschooling without me knowing until it was too late.

Thanks to myspace, I met her again when I was in 8th grade. We became closer than ever. She was my absolute best friend, like a sister to me. We were inseperable, well until we both moved. Still, then, we kept in contact, not as much as usual, but still. Over time, I talked to her less and less. I got involved with my social life. I was involved in a lot of clubs and things outside of school, it almost took up all of my time. I didn't have the time to ever see her(and my mom wouldn't really drive me there. It was about 25mins away).

I hoped despite that, we could stay as close as we were, but she found friends in her area that she could hang out with.

We're both so busy now that we never talk.

We're slowly drifting apart, and I feel like there's nothing I can do about it.

It's really upsetting, thinking of all of the times we've shared.

She's been there through so much.

But we don't even have time for each other anymore.

There's no way.

What should I do? How do I get over this loss?

Things like this always happen. I wouldn't worry too much, I have a friend similar to yours. Extremely close but we live quite far from eachother. We don;t talk all the time because it's hard to k.i.t. with school and other friends. However, there will be many times in the near future when you guys will talk. A good friend doesn't have to be one that you're with or talk to constantly. Just send texts now and then to see how she's doing and try to meet up with her at least once and a while. Don't stress out! =)
