Sadly, none of the other friends ever let me know about these sweet friends. I know I can’t feel guilty about what I didn’t know about, but I feel like I needed support and still do as I mourn. Am I so easily forgettable to not be included in these lifelong friends’ trials? To experience this kind of social loss after the loss of your mother and your friends is terrible. Mom keeps asking me to teach her to take digital photos and create online auction listings, something my Dad used to do.
