My friend graduated today, but nobody celebrated her.
My online friend graduated today, and Idk how to help her. Today was supposed to be one of the happiest days of her life. She worked soo hard, graduated, and reached an important milestone n instead of feeling celebrated, she ended up crying bc of her family n friends. The people around her made her feel bad on a day that should have been about her achievement. She didn't really get a celebration, and it breaks my heart because she deserved one. We're online friends, so there's only so much I can do. I congratulated her, sang songs for her, tried to make her laugh, and spent time with her, but I still feel like it wasn't enough. Seeing someone you care about hurt on a day that should have been special is very difficult. For anyone who has been in a similar situation, what helped? If you were the one who felt forgotten on your graduation day, what would have made you feel better?
