How can I accept that my best friend is gone?

If you just aren't friends anymore, realize they are their own person and you can't hold them against free will. They probably weren't really your best friend and have faith you will meet that true best friend. If your best friend is deceased, my condolences and I'm sorry for your loss. They are in a better place now and watching over you as you read my answer.

Acceptance is the hardest stage of loss to go through, so understandably, it's going to take some time to fully be able to accept the fact. You can't really force yourself to feel certain feelings, especially when you're feeling quite the opposite. Acceptance will come slowly and naturally, be patient and be strong.

It will take time, most likely, and you will need to work on any negative lingering feelings you have and realise that you can be happy even after sad events.

When I lost my dog (I understand that it may not be the same, but I felt just as depressed) I would take one hour of every day to remember him. Although at first it may make you feel worse, but after a while you begin to feel more at peace, and I felt more connected to my dog than ever. Use that hour for praying to him/her, maybe writing a song for them, or making something that will honor them.

You just need to find ways to cope and know even when she or he is not there they are always going to be by your side.

You can accept a best friend is gone by realising that your friendship has ran its course or by realising that you are not right for each other at this moment in time.

Accepting the loss of someone near and dear to you is a hard obstacle to overcome. When we realize that this is simply a part of life, that the world keeps spinning and the days go on, we can start to begin the healing and acceptance process.

I'm not sure what you mean by gone so I'll assume. You two being best friends, I'm sure you both had plenty of good times together. Unfortunately, some things happen in life and things like this happen. It's ok to be sad that they're gone, but you have to realize as them being your best friend, that they wouldn't want you to be sad all the time thinking about them. They wanted to have a good time when they were there with you, and I'm sure they would want you to have a good time with them not there as well.

Part of acceptance is moving on. Moving on with the knowledge that your best friend is gone. You don't have to forget them, or ignore them- you just have to come to a stage where you recognise their absence and just... live with it. I know it probably sounds really vague and superficial. i'm not saying it's easy. i'm not saying that acceptance comes by fast. it takes time and time is painful. it's hard to get over someone who has been close to you all your life but you can't get on with your own life until you have finally acknowledged that they are gone and never coming back.

In my own experience; It’s Sad 😞 and makes you depressed😭. Replacing your original best buddy is very difficult, I suggest you try not to get any other best buddies until you have let your feelings spill out and you are at peace. ✌️I can no longer just see my best friend. This broke me for at least 6 months it was sad 😭😞 Try sleep more, eat healthy and do regular exercise. Try not to think of the past and move on with life keeping yourself busy, play board games, table tennis and etc... This will help ! Lastly keep yourself busy and occupied all the time! Good luck and god bless hope you find peace ✌️
