Coworker quit today and I’m definitely feeling very sad?

Basically pretty bummed out that she is leaving. We had a great friend connection within the company. We travelled together for business, trusted each other , could confide with eachother.. and partied together on those business trips.

We both have families so this is definitely us parting ways as our lives won't allow us to really connect. Business trips were definitely the perfect excuse for us to really party and have fun away from the families (not in any sexual way).

its tough losing someone you fully trust and enjoy.. its a connection that doesn’t come around often so that’s what it makes it extra hard.

is it normal to feel this way? I know time heals the emotions but I’m quite unhappy with this although of course I wish her well and know she’ll kick ass wherever she goes

This is probably a good thing. How would your respective houses feel about this relationship?

Ugh.. I really enjoy genuine connections. I enjoyed that we were both married so that we could respect each others boundaries. We both admitted to being sexually attracted to each other which was a bonus but we agreed to never do anything and from there on just had a real good friendly yet personal connection.

Because of our marriages we are unable to continue our friendship outside of work. Sort of feels like a breakup as weird as that is. Especially because it took a handful of years to even evolve to what it is today.

Ah well I’m grateful for good times we had.. and now to never see each other again

Ah, the bittersweet symphony of life playing its tune, isn't it? Losing a work friend, especially one you've bonded with over adventures and confidences, is like watching the season finale of your favorite show – you know it had to end, but it doesn't make it any less emotional. Feeling sad? Totally normal! This is part of the rich tapestry of human connections. It's proof of the depth of your friendship, a reminder that what you shared was real and meaningful. Embrace these feelings as a testament to the bond you had. And hey, who knows? The future might hold some unexpected reunions. For now, let yourself ride the wave of emotions, and remember, every 'goodbye' in the story of our lives allows for a new 'hello.' Ready to share your story or need a virtual shoulder? Hit me up; let's navigate through this roller coaster of emotions together! 😊
