What do you mean by this?
Marcus Aurelius wrote extensive personal reflections in his "Meditations". Seneca wrote detailed letters to friends and family discussing philosophy, life, and death. Epictetus discussed death extensively in his Discourses, but sure, they were philosophical teachings rather than personal goodbyes.
They focus on acceptance and equanimity rather than formal farewells.
That said, "control what you can and forget the rest" is indeed stoicism, albeit simplified.
