I dont mean she died. I have a friend that I have known for 13 years. She lived here for 9 years then moved away. Just recently she came back for about 5 months to stay while her husband was stationed at a base for police academy. In those 5 months we became REALLY close again. My son LOVES her, she came and did everything with us and helped me have a friend again which I dont really have that many anymore. Well of course she had to go back home and I am really sad! I mean really sad. It sucks, its like I had a friend again other than my husband, someone I could talk to everyday and laugh with about girl things and she played with my son all the time etc.. etc.. i just wonder if its not normal to be this sad? It seems weird to me that I am taking it this hard. I am planning on visiting her in about 5 months but I just really wanted her to stay.

Of course it normal and perfectly natural for you to feel such a loss of your friend. She provided you with comfort and companionship. No longer having those is just as much a blow as any other kind of loss.
You are allowed to mourn her leaving.

It is sooo normal. When you become that close, it feels like losing a sister. I was a mess leaving my mom and my sister and it felt the same when I moved away from a dear friend of mine recently. We couldn't say good-bye in person because it was too hard. So yes it is normal but it gets better. Hopefully you both are able to talk on the phone.

Of course its natural to miss your friend. Have you thought of joining a play group or something for your son so you can meet other moms in the area. Or invite some of your neighbors over for a neighborhood cookout. Get out and meet some folks, make some new friends. You will see her again, but in the mean time don't let your grief make you miss out on new friends.

I've had that experience where it feels like the rug has been swept out from under you and you don't know what to do but be sad and melancholy because at least then you'll have the memories of all the things that you used to do with each other

No you are perfectly normal in your love relationships---keep in contact weekly either a phone call or humorous card.
