Adult friendship breakups can hurt as much as romantic ones, but we rarely talk about them openly. In this episode, we normalize friendship grief and walk through a path to healing: acknowledging grief, avoiding revisionist stories and self-blame, creating closure without perfect answers, reclaiming identity, and staying open to new connections.

Try this:
Write a goodbye letter you don’t send, simply to release what you’re holding.

Reflection questions:
– What part of this friendship do I miss most?
– What story am I telling myself about why it ended?
– What would healing look like if I didn’t need perfect closure?
