My friend is going through a tough time?

[Tara]

My friend has been going through a tough time, and she is one of my best friends. I want to help her, but just talking to her doesn't seem to work. For vacation she and her family went to visit family. Her mother told her that they want to move out of state so they will be with the family. On top of that the mother also said that they are getting rid of one of her animals. My friend has all of her friends that she might have to leave behind, and with her favorite animal leaving, she is really sad. What do I do?

You can't really do anything except be there for her and if your family lets you, adopt her pet so if she ever comes to visit, she can say it. Be sure your with her until the day she moves, and make the best of the time shes still there.

talk to her invite her to some place before she leaves so she leaves with a good memory, tell her everything is going to be okay, that you will always be with her, take her someplace so she can forget, go and have a good time

tell her that life isnt perfect. theres a happy time and sad time. and rite now this is the sad time for her. well she can still talk to you guys. on line. on the phone and write letters and send pictures to each others. and tell her that you guys well be best friends forever what ever happens.

Just BE THERE.

Don't pretend like everything's normal, but don't just sit around staring at her with your pity-face either.

Listen if she wants you to listen, talk if she wants you to talk, hug her if she needs to be hugged. Ask her how she's doing, what's up, and say it seriously, not just as a way of saying hello. Ask if there's anything you can do to help her with anything.

Hmm.. is that your friend or maybe you?????
Anyways, if you are independent, meaning you can afford rent/school/food, etc. stay by your own, or find a roommate(friend)
Talk to your parents, maybe they will change their mind, maybe your family can move to your state
If nothing changes, don't worry, you can always come back or visit your place(over the summer/vacations). Keeps in touch with your friends by phone/internet and everything will be alright
Good luck

Here's some steps I found that should help you help your friend and you (as I'm sure that it's hard on you to lose a friend too!).
STEP 1.
Don't jump ship! Longtime friends deserve to know ahead of time that you are leaving, it's very rude to leave someone's life on short notice. Give yourself and them time to get ready for the big move. STEP 2.
Utilize what time you have left. If you are you used to seeing them often, its best to continue the trend as long as possible. Invite your friends over, watch movies, talk on the telephone, anything to get the most out of your time left. STEP 3. Make a video. This will prove very effective when your gone and feeling homesick. Capture the good times on tape you have with your friends and give them a copy for keepsake. Photos are also useful for this step. STEP 4. Throw a party. Around the last few days, have a going away party to remember! Invite all of your friends. Allow everyone to share their individual experiences with you (how you met, funny experiences, hardships, etc). Give them a chance to express how they feel about you leaving, and you do the same. Step 5. After you leave, try to come back and visit them in a month or so. Your friends will find it very thoughtful that you haven't forgotten about them already and will be glad to see you. People always happiest to see you the longer you've been away. Step 6 you've got friends. Keep in touch. You may not be able to see them, but you can always chat whenever possible. Get the max out of your night time minutes, emails, letters, Myspace and Facebook. It's always good to stay connected with good friends anyway you can!

BTW, is there any chance that you could take this "animal" (what is it?) or can they find it a home where she can keep in contact with the new owners to see how it's doing?

NEVER FORGET YOUR FRIEND AND JUST BE THERE FOR HER DURING THIS TOUGH TRANSITION! REASSURE HER THAT SHE WILL MAKE LOTS OF NEW FRIENDS BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE FOR HER!
She's lucky to have a caring friend like you!
