20 Sad Friendship Quotes to Make You Feel Better

20 Sad Friendship Quotes

Let these sad friendship quotes give you comfort and thoughts to reflect upon when you feel sad about losing a friendship.

Life is always changing and while losing a friendship will make you feel sad, we have to recognize that sometimes those who we thought we our friend perhaps never were. Rather than being consumed by sadness, don’t dwell on it, move on. Don’t paint all people with the same brush, make new friendships, most importantly don’t wallow in sadness.

Sometimes friendships are lost due to a person moving. While the relocation may take them miles away with today’s technology you can still find ways to keep in touch.

One of the saddest times to lose a friend is when they die. Our heart grieves and we miss them. You may find yourself feeling sad and depressed. You can find comfort if they were are a believer then you know you will see them again in heaven. Give your sadness to God and let him help you get through these days of sadness.

People change, we change it is a fact of life, we are all human. When you lose a friend you may find yourself lonely and feeling depressed. They say when you feel like this the best thing is to get out and help others. By helping others we forget our sadness, or we see someone who is in a situation a lot worse than ours. And by helping, by volunteering, you may make new friendships!
