Friendship abruptly ending

Long-term friendship ending

I’m wondering if anyone has gone through something similar and how you handled it.

A 30-year friendship of mine just ended very abruptly, with little explanation. She recently went through a divorce and has been starting over—new friends, going out more, etc. I’m married with two young kids, so I understand our lives are in very different places, and I was genuinely happy that she seemed happy.

Over the past several months, we were texting less. The last few times I asked to get together, she said she wasn’t free until the next month. I thought it was a little odd but assumed she was just busy.

I reached out for her birthday and again tried to make plans—same response. I then asked a simple question about her work schedule (she works at a hospital), and she responded by accusing me of being passive aggressive and immature. I was honestly confused and said as much.

After that, she blocked me on everything—phone, Facebook, Instagram. This all happened yesterday.

I’m really hurt, though a bit better today. I just can’t wrap my head around how something like this ends so suddenly after so many years. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
