I feel like I'm losing a family - please help me cope :(

To put this in a nutshell. . . I work in a very stressful environment and as a result my team are very much like a second family to me. We work long hours together, socialise outside of work and are generally very good friends. A bombshell was dropped a couple of months ago and basically the team are being ripped apart, several of us are being moved to other departments and buildings and one in moving hundreds of miles away . I know it is only work and I shouldn't let it upset me so much but I feel very close to these guys and I feel very low about the whole situation. Has anybody been through anything similar, how did you put things in perspective and cope with it all?
Any advice would be really helpful as I've turned into a miserable cow and it's getting worse as the split happens next week.

Is it likely that you will keep in touch in some way? If not, just see it as moving to a different phase of your life. I know it doesn't help now, but it will get better with in time. Such a shame to be parted from people you get on well with.

Thank you TT, I would have thought that I will keep in touch with the majority of them. It does seem so cruel, especially as we work well together and produce good results. Guess I'm just ranting. It doesn't help that the person who is moving very far away has become one of my closest friends and it's unlikely I'll see them more than three or so times a year. Normally we'd all pull together as a group to cope but now we can't. Think it's just accentuating the loss. Sorry I'm waffling!
