My very best friend (other than my wife) resigned from my where I work today. She and I have been close for a long time (10 plus years). I'm pretty bummed out about it. We are both senior Managers at our site, and I think it is pretty rare to have a deep non sexual friendship like we have. Her departure was not unexpected. Sometimes it is time to go. And this was her time.

I know there are a lot of bad things in life, so this is just a bump in the road in the big scheme. But I'm still bummed.

Anyway, work is going to be different.

Just thought I'd share.

Jax.

Sometimes it's hard to be the one left. You were very fortunate to have 10 great years!

I've never been the one left befind...but as someone who has left, I can say she would like you to stay in touch

Thanks guys. I know I'm being stupid to be down. I'm very happy for my friend, as she got a good new job, and it is a great opportunity for her. Just kind of hard to think of how it will be without the comfortable daily stuff. You know, when you work close with someone and they know you well etc.

So, happy for her (and that is the point I am trying to think about), but down for me.

And I know, there are so many real 'bad things' in life, that this is just nothing. But I hate loss in all forms I guess.

Thanks again for listening.

You're not being stupid for being down, it's difficult, no matter how happy you are for her, there's a big part of you that's going to miss her. Good luck with it
