I can totally relate to this loss. I had a hard time exploring this with others and they think "you are not over it yet?"...well no i'm not. It could be because we also lost our mothers prior and this loss just adds on to the extended grief we go through. Also, the thought of having that friend a part of your life, or so you thought would be, through the thick and thin of it all, to realize you are still all alone as you were in your motherloss, struggling to climb up to find your person but realizing they are all gone. The struggle is real. xxoo
I mask my loss of close female friendships chalking it up to life passages. The life of friendship has a beginning middle and natural end. It still hurts and you have to accept the loss. Some aspects are not reparable and you have to let go. Thank you Barri
I feel this so deeply. I lost my best friend, and to this day, I'm not even sure why. Then shortly thereafter, my mom and my only sister died within a year of each other. Not having my best friend there to grieve with me felt like another death.

Thank you for sharing. All so true. I hope you make space for grief and healing. For as long as it takes.
Heart breaking. Me now knowing this story of yours, and you knowing mine. Ughhhhhhhhh
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Hard to process, hard to get through. Such a thoughtful piece, thank you.
Thank you.
This is so beautiful and bittersweet.
