When friendship shifts after a partner's death

My partner died last year and my best friend has been incredible, but lately I can feel her getting tired of my grief and I'm getting resentful that she expects me to be 'better' by now, and we're both pretending everything's fine.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The weight of prolonged grief is straining a friendship where unspoken expectations about healing timelines are creating distance.
