But it is always awesome to have a go to friend when times get tough. I hope this book can help you like it's been helping me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suffering-the-loss-of-a-friendnot-death#post-2714144 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 08:37:50 +0000 Modern Daisy 2714144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently went through this. Looking back I kept the friendship going for too long hoping she would finally accept help. Ultimately though it kind of helps that I have a family to think about now - there is virtually zero room for a one-sided relationship anymore. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suffering-the-loss-of-a-friendnot-death#post-2714113 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 08:07:34 +0000 bubblegum 2714113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: I'm so sorry to hear that.

It really into perspective the different types of friendships and relationships one and create. I'm so happy it's been able to help you.</p> <p>This book has shown me that not all friendships have to be a best friend, bosom buddy type of friendship. </p> <p>Once you finish please come back and update us! I'm waiting for my semester to be over so I can fully dive in but every time I get a chance to read it, I am in awe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suffering-the-loss-of-a-friendnot-death#post-2714069 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 05:11:46 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2714069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am dealing with this right now.

I think it's a read for any woman. I'm enjoying it so much I recommended it to my therapist.</p> <p>For me it's made me feel better about having so many diverse and complex friendships between family, work and friends I have met organically along the way. I guess I have felt guilty that I can be spread a little thin but legitimately have 15 close friends- and that's awesome. </p> <p>The book has helped me learn to be a better communicator in friendships, and I'm not even done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suffering-the-loss-of-a-friendnot-death#post-2705190 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 16:11:14 +0000 arosebyany 2705190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum: :heart: thank you </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suffering-the-loss-of-a-friendnot-death#post-2704971 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 10:45:50 +0000 bubblegum 2704971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jackiedavis87: I can't imagine your pain. The love you have for her is clear but you also are right, you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped and it's not fair to you to go through that with no true solution. I'm so sorry to hear this and hope by some miracle things change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suffering-the-loss-of-a-friendnot-death#post-2704894 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 09:47:45 +0000 arosebyany 2704894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is something I've been struggleing with for years. My ex best friend, as in the girl I grew up with my entire life, is a hard core alchoholic and drug addict now. We are 2 weeks apart in age and even lived together at one point as children. If there is such a thing as best friend soul mates she was it. With that being said my mother is an alchoholic and I have exacly 0 room in my life for anybody with addiction issues ever again. When I realized that she was in no way ready to accept help I dropped all communication. Me and her mom are super close so I get updates on how she's doing, and it's really bad, honestly I'm just waiting for the middle of the<br /> Night phone call. I think about her constantly, and I know where she is. I honestly sometimes think about going there and dragging her out by her hair if I have to, but I've already learned the life lesson that people who don't want help won't help themselves. I will say it's been about 4 years now that she's gone off the deep end, and time does heal to an extent, but knowing that phone call is probably coming one day makes it harder than it should be I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suffering-the-loss-of-a-friendnot-death#post-2704872 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 09:10:08 +0000 bubblegum 2704872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: Glad to help! I completely understand what you mean. Hopefully this book will help to give you some peace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suffering-the-loss-of-a-friendnot-death#post-2704659 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 16:54:13 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2704659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for sharing. I had a pretty intense best friendship with someone from ages 17-22, and it ended very abruptly. I still consider it the hardest "break-up"/relationship ending I've ever dealt with. I will definitely read this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suffering-the-loss-of-a-friendnot-death#post-2704657 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 16:50:18 +0000 bubblegum 2704657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Oh good!

Let me know how you like it. I hope it's able help you. The book goes into detail about the lack of support during the times of wondering. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suffering-the-loss-of-a-friendnot-death#post-2704653 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 16:42:08 +0000 youboots 2704653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just bought it. I lost one of my closest friends almost 2 years ago. And even though it's way better now I still get hung up on it time to time. Boo it's so hard. There are no guarantees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suffering-the-loss-of-a-friendnot-death#post-2704651 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 16:39:25 +0000 bubblegum 2704651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have gone through the end of a friendship, as I'm sure most of have at some point in life or another. Some are horrible and some we are able to brush off but I really wanted to share this book for the friendships that ended in a horrible way. </p> <p>One thing that really stood out to me in this book was the myth section, which is available to read in the Kindle sample.<br /> "The meaning of the terms friend and friendship are NOT universal." </p> <p>Ain't it the truth!</p> <p>Hope this helps anyone who needs it!</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0033ZAVTE/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_x_-eazybNPNKHQZ" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0033ZAVTE/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_x_-eazybNPNKHQZ</a> </p>
