"If you want me to hold off until you leave, that's fair. But I wouldn't feel right putting up walls long term. Especially considering all three of them will try to comfort me when you go. Lying to them in that scenario feels particularly fucked up. I don't want the people I love worrying about me unnecessarily or under false pretenses."
