Hi Emma. Sometimes friends are also struggling with their own feelings about what is happening to you. They just don't always know what to say or are scared of losing a person that means a lot to them.

It had taken me 2 months, with the support of my husband, to realise that this was the reason the friendship became so strained.
Keep your spirit up and try to think of all the good things you do have when you hit a low spot in your journey.
