I’m so incredibly sorry, and I know it is not the same but I had a succession of best friends emigrate before it was especially easy to continue communication. And what I wish I’d done was open up to other people who cared about me. Your loss is giant and heavy and you deserve to live the life your best friend wanted you to! I don’t want to be all “you aren’t alone!!1!” but you need to establish and be communicative about your needs with your support system. When a family friend lost her husband she said what hurt most was when the silence crept in after the visits to her home as the grief lessened for others, happened. As I’m sure your best friend taught you, being dependent is an absolutely fine thing to be, and in your instance totally understandable. I am so sorry for your loss, and if it’s any comfort know my heart goes out to you.
