Yes, I have been in a similar situation. I worked at a small pharmacy with only about three technicians, and my very best technician was quitting. I was devastated because this technician did everything related to the job and knew how to fix every problem that arose. I was scared about what would happen, but the technician I hired to replace her was actually just as good, if not better, than the old technician who was leaving. So I would say, stick it out. See what happens. I'm sure things will work out fine.
I have felt bad when coworkers have left, but never to the point where I also considered leaving. This may sound cynical, but I've always been aware that people come and go and I've tried not to get too attached to anyone I work with. I once heard someone say they didn't want to leave their job because they liked their coworkers so much. That's nice, but you really can't count on them being there as any, or all, of them could leave.
