Scenario

When friends go through similar life changes but heal differently

My best friend and I both went through divorces this year and while we thought it would bring us closer, we've ended up in completely different places — she's dating again and I'm still barely functional some days — and now our friendship feels awkward in a way it never has before.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared trauma was supposed to deepen intimacy, but different paces of recovery have created an unexpected distance.
