When friends don't understand the depth of friendship grief

My best friend died by suicide eight months ago and everyone keeps telling me I should be 'over it' because we weren't family, but I talked to her every single day for six years.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Society fails to recognize that chosen bonds can run deeper than blood, leaving mourners isolated in their most profound losses.
