How do you help the one's you love deal with a big change? ?

i am moving to Aussie in 6 days and i have to say goodbye to 3 best friends ( 2 of which are finding it hard to see me go), my kids and family, how can i console them?How do you help the one's you love deal with a big change? ?
OK girl, this I can help you with absolutely no question... Ready? Here we go....

Assure them that this is what is right for you and that you love them and you won't do anything foolish. Most of the time family and friends worry because they just want to make sure you are safe and happy and if you are in another country they can't see that for themselves and it makes them uneasy. Therefore, agree to be in regular contact at first say 4 or more times a week on the internet and then at least one phone call every two weeks (you set the schedule according to your budget of money and time I am just giving examples) This is only required at the beginning once everyone is assured that you are OK you will see they will calm down and you won't need to hold their hand as much.

As for the kids, I don't have any personal experience there but I would think that they just need to be reassured that you will see them often and talk either on the phone and internet regularly. I would definitely be in contact with them everyday if it was me but again you set the schedule that works for you. Tell them that you love them and no matter where you are and what you are doing nothing will ever change that, then back up the sentence with actions and deeds. Again, when they see that you are still very much in their lives still they should relax and be more accepting and happy with the situation.

There are things I have to say to you as well but I will try and write you an email asap. Your first couple of years will have challenges as well but its nothing you can't handle and hey love is definitely worth it!!

xxx oooHow do you help the one's you love deal with a big change? ?
Tell them that you love them very much, and that you promise to keep in touch, and that they can call you anytime. Reassure them that even though you're moving, it doesn't mean that they'll never see you or talk to you again. And give them a big hug and let them cry on your shoulder.
im not sure how to answer this babe...

i think you're moving very fast, but i support

you in your decision!



just let them know you love them

and wont forget them!
tell them to send you off with a smile. That will make a more lasting impression on you and your tellin them may help ease the grief of the sendoff. Good luck hon.
you may get there.....and after a while decide u miss home....u may be back...I have seen many move away...then on down the road move back to their original home. Just tell them u are trying this out...that maybe one day u will be back....and u will stay in close contact with them....regardless.
Hello my little Kiwi friend Life is a hurdle full of broken hearts but it must go on . tell them you love them dearly I know you have a PC and if they have one invest in a Web-cam I keep in touch with my Daughter up country with one and it's like being in the same room (no kidding)

good Luck in your new Venture and may every thing work out fine :%26gt;)
Well as long as you tell them you love them and make sure you keep in contact with them, you never know you might be back in a month, you just never know what will happen, i support you, but just make sure you let them know you are always there for them no matter what!

Good luck in Aussie Happy!
