Your friend was very lucky to have you.

"How is that in 2021, the only thing we have to heal heartbreak is to surround the heartbroken with friendship, with community, with empathy - matching their breath?"

When I went through the worst heartbreak of my life last November, all I wished for was someone to match my breath. But in the same sweep as my breakup, I lost my 2 best friends.

Don't underestimate how valuable it truly is to be witnessed - you were brave enough to be still with her in the depths of her pain.
