When I first applied to university in Australia I never told any of my friends until I got my acceptance letter and knew exactly when I'm planing to leave, I knew that it would be hard to loose someone we love or care for so I wanted to make it easier. At the airport while I was saying goodbye it was one of the most emotional moments of my life, it made me realize how much people care for me and will miss me until I come back home.
once heard that saying goodbye is he easy part, because the hard part is what comes afterwards, its how are we going to manage our lives to go on, I was used to call my friends everyday, go out every weekend, and we used to have certain activities together, but now we all have to learn how to adjust and keep life going on. Life has its own way of managing things, and it doesn't always go as we want it to go, maybe thats the challenge that we have to deal with, maybe its natures way of trying to make us stronger and be flexible, be able to accept change and try not to get over attached. I miss my friend and I will never think of forgetting them, but there are somethings in life that has to be done. In economics we have learned the concept of 'Opportunity Cost' which means that in order for someone to do action 1 he should accept loosing the ability to do action 2 or 3, I can stay home, get a job, and do the usual routine with my friends, but I chose to get my masters degree for a better life, it's hard to leave but as I said life just goes on.
Try being supportive even if you don't like it, it would be easier for them to leave, and don't forget to mention that you will be waiting for your loved ones to come back. I know that its a very important topic but there are too many things to say, and I would like to listen to Dido singing what I want to say.
Cheers :)
