29: Relationships

Well, I recently lost a very good friend of mine. I had to make a decision that hurt me and hurt her, and it ended the friendship. Although, the decision was a right one. It was a hard one, but it was the right one. I didn't want to, but I had to.

And the reason I cannot blog about it is because she reads (maybe not anymore) my blog, and I have to respect her enough not to talk about it, even in anonymity. I wanted to thank you all for your kind words. Relationships can be hard, and sometimes they end too soon.

I'm so sorry...I had a best friend I lost too...she was actually a bridesmaid at my wedding. We tried a couple of times to start over because when we were good it was really good...but something had changed us and it was time for it to end. I still feel the void, and when I see her at the grocery store or somewhere we do say 'hi' to each other...but it still hurts.

I am sorry. Relationships are so hard. It seems the harder I try the more I fumble over myself. In the last year I've lost two very dear friends. One I made a hard decision and the friendship just couldn't survive it. The other I have no idea. Not a clue. It stinks. I'm super analytical about relationships to, which doesn't help. What I hate is when a friend stops talking to you and never tells you why? They just stop returning phone calls and such.

Suzy, it's hard....I too have been through, and am going through again, something similar. It hurts, oh, how it hurts. You pour your heart into a caring for another person, making them a part of your family and your life, and (to say the least) they don't reciprocate. Or worse, they really just plunge a knife in your back.

It makes it hard to trust and reach out again, but I refuse to let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch for me. I want and need to believe in the basic goodness of people. You live, you learn, you move on and hopefully, you find better days ahead!

Wow Suzy. I'm so so sorry. While I can't know exactly what you're going through at this moment, I know it stinks. I have been through it on various levels with friends (and unfortunately family on occasion) and it's just plain tough.

May you be able to feel the blessings in your life, even while you grieve this loss.

((hugs))
