When friends are in drastically different life phases

My college roommate and I have been best friends for fifteen years, but she's going through a really dark period and I'm in the happiest phase of my life, and the distance between where we are is making both of us feel guilty and isolated from each other. I feel bad for being happy when she's struggling, and I think she feels bad for bringing me down.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The seasons of their lives have diverged so completely that the very friendship that should bridge the gap has become another source of shame.
