Friendships can fade, even the closest ones.
Sometimes it’s distance, growth, pride, or just unspoken expectations.
You try to fix it, pray for clarity, hope for healing—but silence answers louder.
Not every friendship lasts a lifetime, and that’s okay.
Some were for a season, a lesson, a phase you needed to walk through.
The hard part is the grief no one talks about:
The loss of a living friend.
They’re still alive, just no longer in your life.
But here’s what remains
The memories.
The growth.
The proof that love was real, even if it didn’t last forever.
Let it hurt.
Let it teach.
Then let it go. 3 replies
