I really miss my teacher?

[Firstname]

So my teacher had to leave my school because she was moving an i really miss her. My friend was a lot closer with her than I was and I feel really jealous. My friend and I gave her a going away present and she was so grateful, she even started crying. The next day in class, she gave both my friend and I cards. My friend and her were more friends than a teacher-student relationship so in my friends card, she wrote that they should keep in touch and become friends on social media. In mine, she just wrote that she'll miss me, the gift meant a lot and that she'll think about me. I'm really sad because right as she was leaving we began to have a better relationship and I miss her so much. I almost started crying when I hugged her and said goodbye, and did start crying when I got home. I don't know what to do and I wish she hadn't had to have moved.

Your teacher wrote to your friend that she wanted to stay in touch via social media (I'm guessing Facebook). If that is the case, search her up on Facebook and send a private message with a friend request, saying something along the lines of you would also like to stay in touch because you have been feeling closer to her and you will miss her. Whether or not she accepts, I don't know, but no matter the decision you need to respect it.

As for missing her, it will take time. Time is the keyword. You will eventually begin to heal from missing her. Just allow yourself to cry and strengthen from it. It took me a while to get over missing a teacher after I graduated high school. It's still hard sometimes, as I do really miss them sometimes, but having contact sometimes helps. Sometimes it's a bad thing- There are times where I hurt when I see them because I know we'll be separated again. As horrible as it is, this is a good life lesson because as you get older you will have to be separated from the people you love when you go to college or live on your own, etc. Some of the people you thought were close friends may not want anything to do with you after your class graduates. It will help you be able to handle not being able to see or hang out with your friends as you are used to. Just hang in there!
