Why We Say Goodbye
It's fair to say that saying goodbye is not 100% necessary, but it definitely helps. It is a formal way of telling someone that you're departing from one another's presence. Sometimes we say it to be polite. When you leave work for the day, and your coworkers know that you will be back tomorrow, when you tell them goodbye it's just a nice thing to say. It acknowledges their presence and acknowledges that she will see them again soon. A lot of times though, we say goodbye when we're going to depart from one another for longer than just a day.
Saying goodbye takes on deeper meaning then. It becomes a farewell. When you tell somebody farewell, you're basically telling them that you wish them safety and happiness when you part company. You also let them know that you've really enjoyed spending time with them, and you're going to miss seeing them. If you're moving out of a neighborhood to go to another town, you say goodbye to your neighbors and you tell them that you'll miss living next to them. If you're leaving town to go away to college, you tell your friends who you're moving away from goodbye and that you're going to miss them.
The original goodbye comes from the 1570s and came from the phrase, “god be with ye”. Thus, the word “goodbye” was born. In Spanish, they say “adios” which means “to god.” Vaya con dios means “go with god.” Even the French say “adieu” which means “to god.” These things were originally said as a blessing, and for giving wishes of hope that the person or people being departed from would be safe and blessed until meeting again. Now, we say these things out of habit because we have been taught it is polite.

When Saying Goodbye is Hard
When you have to leave, or let someone go who you love it's difficult. It would be wonderful if we could always keep the people who we love close to us, but sometimes we can't. That moment when you part from one another to go on your ways can be one of the most painful moments you've ever experienced. It can be hard to find the right words to tell the person you love just how you feel about them and how difficult it's going to be for you to leave or watch them go. Some people practice and their minds exactly what they're going to say and other people have absolutely no idea what to say. The most difficult thing is that no matter whether you say the perfect thing or not, departing from one another is still going to be hard. So don't worry too much about exactly what you say when you depart. Just say it with love. Read about the five love languages here: The Five Love Languages
When You Want to Say Goodbye
As difficult as it can be to say goodbye, sometimes saying goodbye is not a bad thing. When you are in a relationship that is toxic, or it has run its course, sometimes saying goodbye can be the best feeling in the whole world. This can still feel a little bit difficult when you still love the person though. Saying goodbye takes on a different meaning when it's necessary to say goodbye for good. Some people prefer to just walk away from the relationship and not explain that they are doing it. Other people want to have their say, or just inform the person that the relationship is over so that they can have some closure.

Should you say goodbye if you're breaking off a relationship? That depends on you. Will it make you feel better to have a conversation and end things? Will it make you feel better to just walk away? Some people don't say anything. They just leave. This is because sometimes, when you decide to leave because it's necessary, the other person will try to stop you from leaving. They might promise that things will be better, but it’s happened with them before they never keep their promises. So why bother? Some people would not feel right if they left without saying goodbye. Only you can decide whether to say goodbye or to just leave. Read about moving forward from relationships here: Move Forward or Get Back Together With Someone?
How to Say Goodbye
Besides just saying the word “goodbye", there are some things that you can say when you have to part ways. When you're going away, make sure to tell people that you love them, and you'll miss them. You can tell them that you wish that you could stay together. You can tell them you know and understand why you have to leave. Most importantly you can tell them not to forget how much you care about each other and how much you mean to each other.
I Love You
“ I love you” are three words that terrify some people, but it doesn't have to be that way. If you really love someone when you're going away or they are going away, make sure to tell them that you love them. This is especially important if you have never told them before, and this departure will be for a long time if not for good. If you don't tell someone that you love them, you might regret it. Tell the people who you love that you love them when you are saying goodbye. You might not get a chance to tell them again. Read about love at first sight here: Is Love at First Sight Real?

We have our hobbies and our careers. We have our pets. We have our futures that we are planning for. Most of all, we have relationships with wonderful people.

I Know Why You Have to Leave
When parting is difficult, sometimes telling your loved one that you understand why they have to leave makes them feel better. It will not make them stop wishing that they didn't have to leave, but it makes them feel emotionally supported by you. We don't always get to decide whether we stay or go, and when we have to leave and we don't want to, that's difficult enough. When the people who we don't want to leave are upset with us because we have to leave, that makes it harder. Letting your loved one know that you understand why they have to leave makes them feel better and they will appreciate your understanding. Read about gratitude here: Learning to Have a Grateful Heart
Not Forget
When you have to bid one another farewell, make sure to tell the person you love to remember the good times. Tell them to remember how much you mean to each other. Tell them to remember the tough times you got through together. Tell them that you will remember everything they taught you, and you will never forget what a positive impact they have made in your life. Most of all, tell them to remember that you are still a part of one another's lives even though you're not together all the time. Some relationships are forever, even if you're apart from one another. Always remember that. Read about the power of memory here: The Mysterious Power of Memories
What Comes Next?
When you have to depart, things will not be the same. The people who you love will be somewhere that you're not and you will miss them. You may feel empty for a while without them, and it can be difficult to find new people to spend time with instead. Of course you will make new friends with time, but that doesn't mean that the people who you've departed from aren't still in your heart. Luckily, goodbye it doesn't always have to be forever. You can stay in touch, plan to visit one another, and emotionally stay close even when you're physically apart.
Stay in Touch
There was a time when people had to keep in touch with letters. Not too long ago, people started using letters as well as telephone calls to keep in touch. Then there came a day when a lot of people had cell phones, so it became even easier to get in touch with people when we were away from them. Today, we live in the digital era. Video calls and emails can send messages in an instant. It has never been easier to get in touch with people than it is today. So, write letters and send postcards and gifts. Make phone calls and send texts. Do video calls and send emails. Do whatever you have to do to keep in touch with the people who you love. Just because you're not physically together doesn't mean you can't be in touch with each other. Some people won’t call no matter how often you ask them to, but why?

Plan Visits
Travel is easier and less expensive than it ever has been too. So, it's easier to take trips to see the people you love than it ever has been before. When you can't live close to the people you love, you have the same problem that a lot of other people have. You live apart! So, you will have to travel to see each other. Just keep one thing in mind: don't put off all of your traveling until you retire. You never know what your health or finances will be like in the future, so go ahead and plan those trips while you can. Speaking of trips, have you taken a “trip” on psychedelics before?

Stay Together Even Apart
There might be many miles between you and someone you love, but that doesn't mean there has to be a distance between your hearts. Staying in touch with one another and making it a point to take trips to visit each other are just two ways that you can stay close emotionally when you can't be close together physically. Keep gifts that your loved one has given you close to you when you want to feel their presence. Make sure to remember their birthdays and any important anniversaries that you share together. Make sure to speak well of them and to tell stories about them whenever you can. Physically, you might be apart but emotionally, when you love someone, you don't have to be.

Saying goodbye can be the most difficult thing that you ever have to say to anyone. It can feel unfair, and it can feel like the end of a relationship. Just because you can't be close to each other physically doesn't mean your relationship is over, though. How often you get to see each other will change, but the way you feel about each other won't. If you really love somebody, you can continue a relationship with them even if they're not nearby. Stay in touch with them, go to see them, and do things that make you feel emotionally close to them even when they're not around. Saying goodbye might be difficult, but it doesn't have to be forever.
