I'm really sad, please help?

Question

My aunt is leaving in two days to the other side of the North american landmass! She used to live with me, and raised me like a parent. But when my grandpa died she had to leave to take care of my grandma, because she can't speak English. Last year I lived with my only my parents for a year, and realized how much my aunt means to me. She's like a third parent to me. I was so sad to see her leave and I know I'm being selfish because my grandma needs her more than me, but what should I do? By the way I went to visit her 2 months in CA where she lives and now I not only miss her but CA.

Sorry if I sound tangled, rushed, whatever, I'm really sad. I can't bear to see her leave again.

What can I do to ease the pain?

Answer 1

Im so sorry. That has to feel awful. All I can say is, dont let your relasionship drift away, ever. Stay as tight as you possibly can. Give her something to remind her of you. Like a picture of you two, so every time she sees it she'll always think of you, like her daughter. Nothing ever turns out the way its planned, but all we can do is hope for the best. Email her every day (at least at the begining) because it will be something to look forward to. Just to feel like you have something to share with eachother, like you always used to. Best of luck.

Answer 2

Tell her how much you love her. That way she knows...also listen to music and honestly pain heals with time.

Answer 3

I am sure that you are greatly disappointed. However you must realize that your aunt is alive and well and gone off to help someone in need. You will always have the option of calling, Emailing, or writing her. I assure you that she is not out of your life for good.
