When spiritual friendship becomes complicated by bypassing

My friend and I have been spiritual companions for years, sharing everything about our journeys toward divine love, but recently they've fallen into what feels like spiritual bypassing around their grief, and I don't know how to love them through this without enabling their avoidance of real pain.
