Grieving the loss of a best friend (who is still alive)

I am sure you've heard that "Nothing lasts forever" People use it to console themselves by saying it had to end. It was fun while it lasted. And that may be true. But losing a best friend is heartbreaking. Someone you thought was faithful to you, but after a single glitch, You cut ties. 

Friendships do end. We make many friends when we are in kindergarten then,  We go on our separate ways in high school. Some connections come to an end at that stage. Then you find new friends, and the same pattern gets repeated. Everyone chooses different directions to pursue other careers. You lose touch with them, and then you never hear from them. Not only that, bonds with your friends change when they get married, when they get a job, or when they move to a different city. Disagreement over issues can cause a sudden end to friendships. Friends also have expectations. They are not always selfless. If they fail to meet their needs when required, It is understandable to feel disappointment. 

So if you have questions about why they come to an end, There are multiple reasons. Every relationship has its ups and downs. It is for us to think optimistically or be a pessimist.

Although, there are multiple ways to cope.

Allow yourself to grieve. 

Acknowledge what went wrong and hope for a better outcome next time. 

Remind yourself that healing takes time. 

Lastly, I would not recommend deleting everything and trying to forget it all at once. Don't try to erase your memories. Deleting things from your social media and the moments you captured together deleting them may give you relief temporarily, But it won't be helpful in the long run. It won't help you process your grief. Keeping away from these blissful recollections can stunt the pain interaction by holding you back from having the option to move towards acknowledgment.

In conclusion, If You make friends, You must lose them. It doesn't always have to be a messy breakup. Sometimes things change. And if that doesn't happen, we all know every soul shall taste death. So,

Why should we think about how friendships may go down tomorrow? And ruin what we have? Why not enjoy the relations today and let tomorrow worry about itself? They'll stay for as long as it's in fate. Friendships die for different reasons, so even if they don't last forever,  we should cherish them as long as we have them.
