It always makes me sad to see a friendship fall apart.

This girl and I have been best friends for 4 years. Texting every day, phone call every night at 9:30 for several hours, always there for each other whenever we needed it. A few months ago, her mom died, after being sick for a really long time. I get that she doesn't want my help, doesn't want me to cheer her up, wants me to give her space.

But.. the thing is.. our friendship took a severe hit about 5 months ago.. and we never really recovered. She didn't even want me there for the funeral. I told her I'd cancel my plans.. she didn't even tell me when the funeral was until after it'd happened. One of our mutual friends went instead because she lived closer to her. I would've given anything to be there. She wanted to go back to Illinois to fix what was wrong. I knew she had to go because her family was there and they needed each other.. We ended up not speaking for a month and a half. I tried calling and texting.. she wouldn't answer. Not until her family started saying mean things about her mom. So, she went back to Massachusetts. Her phone got stolen, and she has no desire to get a new one. Her roommate told me she's avoiding talking to everyone. I'm trying to get her and her roommate to come to New York on February 19th. I'm hoping she wants to come.. I miss my best friend. I want us to go back to the way we were before, when we told each other everything and were so close and talked every day.
