When friends going through similar life changes start healing at different paces

My close friend and I both got divorced around the same time last year and we started spending a lot of time together processing everything, but now I'm ready to start dating again and she's not and it's creating this weird tension where I feel guilty for moving on and she feels left behind. We used to talk about everything but this feels too delicate to address directly.
