181: Friendship Grief is Real
from Single Mom MD Hosted by Dr. Gail Clifford, MD, MMM, CPE, FACP, FHM
Adult friendship breakups can hurt as much as romantic ones, but we rarely talk about them openly. In this episode, we normalize friendship grief and walk through a path to healing: acknowledging grief, avoiding revisionist stories and self-blame, creating closure without perfect answers, reclaiming identity, and staying open to new connections. Try this: Write a goodbye letter you don’t send, simply to release what you’re holding. Reflection questions: – What part of this friendship do I miss most? – What story am I telling myself about why it ended? – What would healing look like if I didn’t need perfect closure?
