As a little kid I never imagined how hard it would be to say goodbye to things I had known for practically my whole life. I had never really thought about it, but as I got older I realized how hard it was. I realized that saying goodbye to people or things never gets easier as time goes on no matter how many times you have to do it. Saying goodbye doesn’t always mean that someone has passed away, it could also mean someone moved has moved away, or you’re moving into a new chapter in life. In my life there has been two distinct times I have had to say goodbye and one that is coming up soon. The first one was in April 2011 when I was diagnosed with a chronic disease, that would change me. I had to leave life as I knew it behind. A website that really helped me after being diagnosed was https://crohnsandcolitis.ca/ a website and foundation for people diagnosed with crohn’s or colitis. The second was in 2015 after my brother graduated from high school and was moving into residence at UBC. We had always been really close as kids and the fact that I wasn’t going to see him everyday got me upset sometimes. There were times when I would be lying in bed at night thinking and just start to cry because of how much I miss not having him around. I had never thought about life after he moved out and how much it would change my own life. The final thing that is coming up quite soon is graduation, which is something I am nervous about and also excited as I will be moving into a new chapter in my life. I am moving to Winnipeg in August, away from everyone and everything I know and am used to. I wanted a change after high school but also wanted to keep going to school. I will have to say goodbye to my family and I won’t get to see them everyday which is also nerve racking for me. Saying goodbye is difficult but is something we all have to do. Christina C

When I have to leave anything, or anyone or any places, it is really hard especially when you love them. We have leave to but wanna stay, i guess everyone can relate to this feeling. I liked you mentioned that saying goodbye never gets easier no matter how many times we experience. I hope you good luck for your new chapter! :)

Very relatable blog! Wow you're moving to Winnipeg by yourself? I could never do that, that's very brave. I also went through the same thing with my brother when he moved out after graduating and went to university, I missed him a lot more than I thought I would. But crazy as it sounds it actually brought us closer, so saying goodbye isn't always bad - but now that he's back at home I want him to leave again!

i can relate to this blog so well! i had to say goodbye to my family too, only for a few months but it was still very hard. what i learned is that it is always important to know why you are doing it and what you learn from it! and to watch yourself grow! :) great blog!!

Going through a traumatic experience, or being diagnosed with a medical disease can make it harder to say goodbye. I lost an uncle and my great grandpa on the same day exactly a year apart, it was really hard to cope with; though I feel this experience has made me stronger :)
