 That's tough. I moved around when I was a kid, and I missed best friends I had to leave terribly. I moved out of state, and we didn't have cell phones or internet, and long distance calls cost an arm and a leg back then, so I could only write letters through mail.
Have you asked your mom about her? Did you go to the same elementary school when she lived in your town? Your mom or the school may have contact information on your best friend's grandmother or someone who knows her. It might be a place to start. Also, do you know other friends she had as well? They may have gotten an address or cell phone number you could use. If she's your age (13-15), she may be on Facebook or Instagram or Snapchat since the entry age is 13. Google her name on social media and you may get lucky and find her.
Otherwise, you do have to carry on. I know your pain of losing friends, and it is really sad, but also keep your eyes on the future. Sometimes when one door shuts on a friendship, another one opens in the most unexpected of places. I was always heartbroken when I moved away and had to leave friends, but believe me when I tell you, I gained more good friends as well. Had I not left best friends of the past, I would never had met my dear friends in the future. Life is like that.
See the good in all choices, sad or happy. Change brings joy as well as sadness. You will make friends, and who knows if you will reconnect with your best friend. There are a couple I never saw again and still regret it, but somehow I know they're doing well and I hope they think fondly on their memories of the years we were together.
Chin up, girlriend. Life will get better for you. :)
