When support groups develop at uneven paces

Four of us formed a support group after we all left the same toxic workplace and now six months later two people seem to be thriving and moving on while the other person and I are still really struggling. There's this weird tension where we don't want to hold back the people who are healing faster but we also feel abandoned.
