Hi Ladybug

I feel for you. It sounds like you’re grieving as Miniature Bodhisattva says. Don’t worry, it’s perfectly natural to feel that way. Losing a friendship (although I guess it’s about the distance rather than the friendship) is a significant life challenge.

Do grieve, but put a cap on it for your own sake. Give yourself a certain length of time and then vow to move on with your life.

Tip: ask yourself what is it you want out of this friendship in the future and what options you’ve got so that you can live the life you want. The answers may surprise you.

Best of luck

Pete
