Hi everyone, i am new here so please be kind. My father passed away last year and a friend who i thought was very close attended the funeral then all of a sudden stopped communicating with me. I haven't received even a message, i then reached out to her to check she is alright, she said she was busy.. I feel hurt.. Another friend had told me soon after the funeral that she was shocked to see how many friends i had who attended to support me and that it wasn't her job to check on me anymore as i seemed to have plenty of people. I always considered her to be close, we are in our 40s and have been friends since we were in our teens. I am not sure how to feel about all this but I feel really down.

In the same situation.
One of my closest friends contacted me once when my mum died a few months ago. Once. I've seen her briefly once, because a mutual friend invited us for a cuppa.

It's heartbreaking, and I honestly was/am blindsided by it. It also leaves you questioning yourself, when you should be focusing on much more important things.
