Met my friend a few years ago through a mutual friend. Really hit it off and been really close until a few months ago. Both had a lot going on in our lives and were a big support to each other, the usual kind of things friends do. But also some really good times, especially during lockdown times when couldn't always do much.
She moved house about 3 months ago, but the same area, lovely house. I moved to a different area, but had always planned to, and friend knew about this but she was really supportive. Since the move, I've not spoken to my friend and she hasn't responded to any messages or calls. I gave up trying in the end. I sent a christmas card the other day, but not expecting to get anything back.
It really hurt as she seemed to be excited for me moving as I was. It hasn't been quite as happy as I was hoping, but made worse by the fact I haven't got her support through things and also being ghosted is never a nice thing anyway. I've been seeing a therapist to help deal with things (not just this) and it is helping but I still think about my friend every day, not knowing what on earth happened. We don't do social media or anything like that so I can't just see if anything is going on, not that I think it's healthy anyway.
Has anyone else been ghosted or cut off suddenly by a good friend? How did you deal with it? I'm doing all the things they say, making a new life for myself where I've moved and getting out doing things, doing lots of positive things, seeing other friends and talking to them, having the therapy etc. But I still just miss her so much.
