Alex's Answer

Hello, welcome to Ask Alex

 

We want to commend your courage for opening up about your feelings. It takes a lot of bravery to express that you’re going through a tough time, especially when it’s about losing your best friend. Please know that we are here to support you every step of the way.

 

Losing a best friend can be really challenging, and it’s completely okay to feel the way you do. You’re not alone in this, and there are valuable support services to help you through this. One such resource is the Childline website.. There is a section dedicated to friendships that can provide helpful guidance and advice. You can find it here: www.Childline.ie/friendships.

 

Your feelings matter, and talking about them can be a significant step toward finding solutions. You’ve already shown incredible strength by reaching out to Ask Alex, and we’re proud of you for taking that step. Would you feel comfortable talking to your friend about how you are feeling? Sometimes we may think things are happening, that are actually not. Or maybe there is an adult you trust whom you could have the conversation with.

 

Remember, the Childline Team is here for you 24/7. You can reach us by freephone at 1800 66 66 66 or through Live Chat on our website. You are never alone, and we are here to provide support and explore options with you. We are a confidential and non-judgmental service, and you can chat about why you think you are losing your best friend, or anything else that may be on your mind.

 

Take care of yourself, we would love to hear from you soon.

 

Alex
