How friend groups handle when one person is struggling

My three closest friends and I have been planning this big trip together for months but one of us has been going through something heavy and keeps pulling back from the group, and the rest of us don't know whether to push forward with plans or pause everything, and we're all afraid to bring it up directly.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A circle of care is discovering that sometimes love requires speaking the uncomfortable truth that someone's pain is affecting the whole, and that this speaking can itself be an act of inclusion.
