Friends are getting older and moving away. How do I cope?

If you could address how difficult it is when you are an older person — let's say you are 60 years old and up, and at this point in life not only experiencing the death of dear friends but friends who decide they're going to move to another part of the country, either to be with their family or just to have a different life as they are older.

How can the ones who are so-called "left behind" manage the difficult loss of people that you've been friends with for so many years, and you see all the time, and now at best you can maybe visit them once a year?
