For anyone who has lost a friend... advice needed

To anyone who has lost a friend to a falling out (for whatever reason) or just drifted apart.

Have you ever reconnected, and then realise after some amount of time that it just wasn't the same after that?

I think this is happening to me right now and I've came to the realisation that after 30 years of friendship, we just can't recover. It's not the same. I can't put my finger on it.

Sorry if this isn't making sense. But has this ever happened to you? How did you deal with it?

Thank you.

@hkz this is exactly what happened to me. I found out via her brothers Facebook that her Mum, who I had been close to when we were teenagers, had died. I sent her a text which she replied to, and some flowers. Obviously I don't want to make the death if her mum about me but I was pretty hurt she didn't tell me herself. I'm done now-but I feel really sad about it.
