The Feeling When Someone Is Leaving

My co-teacher is leaving. She has found her new avenue to work as a bank teller and not anymore in teaching. She has been with us for four years. She is the prettiest faculty in our university. I cannot bet her. LOL. I learned her decision to resign as Language teacher in Facebook. We are also friends in Facebook.

I cannot stop myself from crying. Yes, my  dear readers, I cannot avoid myself to cry. Grace is  her name. She would surely cannot forget how nice I was to her. During departmental exams, we are partners and there were times that she was sick, so I shoulder all two days proctoring alone. I also told our dean’s secretary to allow her to accredit her proctorship despite absent because she has 2 kids and her husband has a very small salary.

This morning, flashes of comments were shown in my Facebook expressing their feelings. We were not inform about the location of her work. All I know is having someone close to you leaving is a heartache. That is what I do not like in a work place having a co-worker leaving for it creates emotional stress and mixed feelings. I know that she felt heavy with her decision of leaving the teaching world, but, she is not a holder of any graduate course, so her salary will be within the poverty line. I also understand her decision. I told Grace that wherever she will be destined by her fate, all her friends in the university will never forget her and will always cherish those happy memories for four years.

I will resume to work June 14, and I will see her no more in the faculty office. I and my co-teachers will surely feel the emptiness. Though this feeling is temporary, but it will take days and months before the healing process completes.What a sickening feeling,and what a life.

Do you also have the same experience as mine?

    • It is not easy to feel the emptiness and loneliness of losing a friend close to you. If we only have the power to twist a feeling, I surely have made it in an instance to escape a heart to break.

      Life is so hard this time.

    • I will report to work on Tuesday next week and I feel now the sudden pain pf losing a friend in the office.

    • I had experienced this. However, it is in extreme pain from within. I am saying this when my ex-partner left me hanging and found another person during the relationship. I felt betrayed and unfair for being deserted like this. I don't deserve to be in such situation.

      It has been months that I totally tried to forget this omen in my life. I promised myself that I will never feel this pain anymore. The feeling is like a walking dead.

      In terms of leaving in the workplace, it is a feeling loneliness. However, it wasn't too deep. Since there is always a chance that you'll meet this person and continue to build the rapport of friendship. Unlike the relationship that I had mentioned.

    • @Shavkat, When there is life there is hope, so whatever pain we had in the past, that would serve as our inspiration to move on for another hope, and a lesson not to put our 100 per cent true to anyone.

    • When someone leaves, heart weeps and eyes full of tears forever...but it is a law of nature those who meet today will leave us tomorrow. I think it is a very tough time if your beloved is leaving you for sometimes.

      The end of a relationship or marriage can feel like death. Grief is an appropriate response. This means anger, sadness, denial might all arise.

      It’s visceral. Breathing is hard. You can’t sleep. For the person being left it can feel like the end of the world. You wonder if you’ll even survive. To say you’re hurt and confused or angry is too little. It feels much bigger; like everything has been turned upside down and shaken, like the ground has disappeared under your feet.

      The hardest part of any friendship is when it's time to say goodbye. As much as we might like things to stay the same, change is an inevitable part of life. The universe may seem huge and the rift between friends on opposite side of the world may seem a great distance. There are many tools available with which we can communicate, but even without these tools there is a secret that only real friends know, and it is this. All the mountains and valleys in the world cannot separate friends whose hearts are as one.

      When someone leaves I think as this poet thinks

      Together we would laugh, together we would cry,
      With each other, we'd never be shy,
      We'd often fight, then sort it out,
      And at each other, we would never shout.
      It's because she was my best friend...

      When I was with her, I was very crazy,
      I would always dance like a silly daisy,
      I didn't care what they thought of us,
      Since all they could possibly do was fuss.
      It's because she was my best friend...

      I'd turn to her when my spirit needed a lift,
      We would treasure our friendship- it was a gift,
      She'd lift me up when I felt down,
      And put a smile on my face when I wore a frown.
      It's because she was my best friend...

      I saw her today, with someone else,
      It had been many years, so I was past tense,
      She ignored me, and I wanted to cry,
      If only she could just say goodbye...
      It's because she was my best friend,
      And I never thought it would come to an end...
