[quote=Anonymous]Agree with others that she is no best friend and you've drifted apart. Sorry but there is no way to tell her that will lessen the pain for her.

While I sympathize with her to a point, and it's completely natural to feel envy, even jealousy and resentment in our darkest hours, it's not healthy and after a while, not normal. Can you imagine how life would be if everyone who lost their mother decided to stop talking to everyone in their life who had a living mother they were close to? Or a parent who has lost a child did the same? Or everyone with cancer was not able to be friends with those who are healthy? As a society we wouldn't get very far.

Like I said, totally normal for her to feel sad, jealous, resentful, and have her moments of tearful, angry rage. But a healthy person learns ways to cope and moves on at some point, and not talking to you for a year because you got pregnant is a big sign she is not coping. I find it hard to believe if you guys are childbearing age that you are the only friend who is having babies and growing a family. You can be sensitive and respectful and as kind as you can, but sounds like you guys have drifted apart.[/quote]
