Hey guys, i’m not too sure if this is the right place to say all this so i’m sorry.

I’m moving away for college next September and it’s already weighing me down.

To give some context, my college is a 2 hour train journey and a 1 hour drive from my house. I’d be able to visit most weekends although it would be costly i would still pay the costs to visit home as often as i can. I know in a lot of countries, a 2 hour journey for College isn’t a lot but in my country it isn’t close.

My mother is a widow and she’s very close to me, she’s not once said she wants me to stay home and is very proud of me and pushes me to achieve my dreams but i think she’s just putting on a brave face. I know she will be lonely during the week days and i worry very much about this. What can i do to help this? how can i make her feel better even though she says she feels fine?
