DEAR ANNIE: ... I am angry with this friend because she was the only one who didn’t acknowledge my loss.
DEAR ANNIE: My estranged brother died suddenly. We had not spoken in three years. One of my oldest friends dismissed my grief in words and actions, on the grounds that since he wasn’t in my life, I shouldn’t feel the loss. He was my only sibling. There were no services, so closure is difficult. I am angry with this friend because she was the only one who didn’t acknowledge my loss.
I also suggest that you plan something to commemorate him -- even something small. Plant a tree in his memory. Gather friends and family, and share stories about him. Do something to honor his life and give yourself a sense of closure.DEAR ANNIE: When COVID hit, my boyfriend and I -- who already lived together -- began spending every waking minute together, as we were both working from home. I honestly loved it. I never get tired of him.
