Scenario

When friends go through similar life changes but have completely different experiences

My closest friend and I both went through divorces this year and while mine feels like a relief, hers is devastating her, and I don't know how to be supportive when our experiences are so different — I feel guilty for my happiness and she feels abandoned by my recovery.
