The grief of losing friends

“We women can be our own biggest enemies,” she said. I nodded vigorously in agreement and added my two cents, stopping her thought process briefly.

Those who know me, know that is a phrase I have used many times and unfortunately it is the truth, even though some sisters might want to disagree.

This sister, an acquaintance of mine, had just lost friends she had been close to for years and the pain she described was almost tangible. She shared the reason, but I prefer to focus on her feelings.
