When friends' timelines for having children diverge unexpectedly

My best friend and I have been talking about having kids at the same time for years and now she's pregnant and I'm not and every conversation feels loaded with things we can't say. We both want to be supportive but there's this new distance between us that we're both pretending isn't there.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A shared dream has become asymmetrical, and both people are grieving the loss of the parallel journey they imagined while trying to celebrate what actually happened.
