its always painful to lose a close friend....i'm sorry that you did...but keep your head up and hold the memories that you guys had together close to you....and if its possible let things between you guys cool off and talk...you regret if it you dont

That's exactly what happens to me with a close friend of mine.. \nso i've been thinking about it hard lately .. esp after i tried every way with her.. i talked to her about it many times .. i got mad at her.. i forgave her a thousand times.. so the last thing i decided was to tell her for the last time the way i hate it when she does things that hurt my feelings and told her that now she knows what bothers me and that im not gona talk to her or call her until she thinks deeply about it and realizes that i really get hurt and make sure she wont do it again and is ready to change the way she treats me in order for the past not to repeat itself

I think it depends on how much it upset you. If you can get over it quite quickly then just leave it but if it is worrying you a lot or if your friend does things to upset you quite often then you need to tell them or the chances are you won't stay friends!!! I had this problem once with my best friend (friends for 25 years now since we first started high school) I couldn't tell her face to face so I sent her a letter and this worked really well, we managed to sort things out properly. The thing with a letter is that you can say things that you may not be able to say face to face and the person receiving it has to listen cos they are reading every word and can't just "zone out" when they don't like what is being said. Good luck xx

It's never easy, and there will most likely be tears, but one does what one has to do.Muster up the courage, and say "Goodbye". It will not be the end of your friendship, just a temporary separation. Good Luck!

Dont worry too much about your mate. if they are a real friend then they will see what you mean to them - without you helping them. remember that you cant force someone to be your friend. also try and think if you need a friend who doesn't care for you, and that someone can only stay sweet while being hurt for so long, even if they dont mean it.\ntrust me, i know what you are going through from experience and that this is a hard thing to go through, but stay strong

Loosing a Loved one.  I lost my brother, My grandma, My brother-n-law. Loosing someone you love and care about will make you cry!

You've got to be absolutely sure its GOING to work before you jump into that.\n\nOtherwise, you'll end up losing the love and friendship of your best friend.\n\nI'm serious... think about it and ask yourself, "Is it worth losing a friend?"

I had lost alot of young (between the ages of 20-26) and i had lost an Uncles that was 20 in December of 2003 in a car accident traceling from Wisconsin to Wyoming to work. I can tell you, tell her your sorry and to always remember the good times. It really helped when everyone of my friends just sat and talked about the good times we had partying and stuff. It will take her time, i am still sad and not the same. Its a very hard thing to deal with. Another thing is, sometimes i just wanted space and noone around, and my friends thought i was being rude but thats just how i felt..Hope it helps u out.

You would probably want to tell your daughter that losing a family member is hard and difficult especially if they are very close, but being a good friend and show that you are a good friend is always a good route. She needs to understand that losing someone take time to settle in their life, that losing someone like a grandmother is hard and very unsettling, so it will not be quite normal for  a while. Tell your daughter to help her friend as much as friend could. For instance when my grand mother past away, all I wanted was to remember her and never forget her. So we did things she always liked when I was a child. ex: Polished her silver ware, planted flowers to remind me that she was always there. (built a photo frame for her picture) and painted rocks that had our names on it! It is good to remind them of all the good things that they did together. And tell her it will be hard and tuff, but if she feels like crying that she should always let it out and not be afraid too. It was hard as a child to lose a grandmother, but she's still very young at mind to understand all of it! May be this would help!

sadly if  you have to ask this then i would say no they dont .. when you have a best friend you will know it and dont feel bad because what most people dont realize is that you are very lucky to have ONE best friend in your whole life time... i found my best friend 7 years ago and then 2 yrs ago she died and i am still lost with out her but she taught me so much and from the first time we sat and talked we knew we were best friends by chance sisters in heart.......

One in real life. She has always been there no matter what. \n\nOn the Internet. I have a few that I do dearly care about and they are there for me when I am sad. I am lucky to have them. Sadly there are times when we think we have a good friend only to find out later they do a runner on you. Best not to get too close to quick.\n\nWhat I consider a friend. Someone that understands me and one that is always there no matter what the case.

Hopefully for you the other person has similar feelings. Otherwise, it is another broken heart, maybe hidden, while a good friendship can continue.

I know exactly how you feel and yes it is normal to feel sad and maybe even a little angry that she had to die in a such a terrible tragic way especially being a young mom... I lost my friend in a car accident a long time ago and still think about her often she was too young didn't even have a chance to have children and she would have made a great mother. But the pain does start to go away eventually and you should just try to remember the good times and if possible try to be their for the children she left behind and tell them what a great person and friend she was to you and everyone else.... That way no one will ever forget her....

Unfortunately it is. I remember loving a friend immensely (probably more than I did myself). He never returned my feelings and that unreciprocated affinity was extremely painful and incredibly difficult for me to bear. I'd never loved anyone as much as I did him but he simply never returned my feelings for him. There was really nothing I could do about it, except cut our ties and create a healthy distance. Even a friendship would have been too hard for me to bear.\n\nMaybe you should interpret this "friend"'s behavior as a sign that he doesn't feel for you the same emotions that you do for him. Let him go. You deserve someone who loves you equally :)

There is a reason behind all of it.Do not try to feel angry but try to find a sloution behind it. k. INvite them to your house to hang out and do something that all 3 of you like then you can start it again.\n\nDont lose your friends.\n\nTake Care.
