Big sister is moving out :(
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with a sibling moving out and going off to college? My sister and I are a year and half apart and she's moving out in a little over a week. We're really close and I just can't imagine her not being here.
We also have an older brother that moved out 4 years ago but I guess I didn't notice as much since I still had my sister.
Now, I'm going to be all alone (well...with my parents) and have the whole upstairs of our house to myself basically and I know it sounds kind of dumb, but it's scary. Has anyone else felt this way and had to deal with it?

I know just how you feel. Tomorrow, my brother moves out I'm going to be alone. I hate the thought of it. Especially because that just means one step closer to our family changing forever. I'm really going to miss him and he lives so far away. I will barely get to see him. I don't know how to deal with it. But I know that I will see him at every holiday and during the summer. I know that this will not be the last time I get to see him. Yes I'm going to miss him, but this isn't the end. Just a new chapter in life.

Yeah I definitley have.
My sister lives in florida and I live in Michigan
I dont see her alot at all.
I miss her so much and it hurts sometimes,
but just remember yoru sister will come back to vist and you will visit her sometimes too.
I know the emptiness will be lonely but you'll get used to it, try getting out and occupying yourself.

WOW... i know EXACTLY what you are talking about. Growing up i was really close to my sister who is A LOT older than me. My mom was never home because of work, at times she would be gone for weeks and i wouldnt see her. So i got really close to my sister. She practically raised me. She got married when i was in 6th grade and moved to CT, i live in VA. By that time my parents had gotten divorced so it was only me, my mom, and my other sister, who got married and moved out my freshmen year. I cried and cried for months. I think that was the first time in my life that i ever experienced depression. But than i started middle school, my own life, made friends, and things got a lil better. Just keep yourself occupied in your life. Since your family life is changing you are going to have to keep up a very good social life to fill that empty feeling you are going to experience. If you'd like to talk to me about it you can send me a question with either your aim info or myspace. I hope everything works out for you. :)

ok well i had this happen to me and wat i did was stick to hangin out with friends and calling her once in awhile i dont blame you for being scared but within a few nights you will probably love it and remember your sister is probably just as scared in her dorm.missing her is good and it will be ok call her and stuff you can still keep a good relationship with her not living there you still see and talk to your brother right?wich hopefuly proves my point

Maybe you could talk your family into letting you have a friend or a cousin sleep over a few nights to help make the transition easier and make you feel more comfortable.
I have never had a sibling leave me for more than a night and even that gets kind of lonely. Just being with soemone else for a while will help make you feel better.
But don't worry you will get used to it. Like my sister went away for a week and at first i was bummed out then eventually i grew to like being the only child and was kind of upset when she came back
