I'm full of admiration for my best friend. Her long-term relationship ended just after her father passed away. Instead of disappearing into a bottle or wallowing in despair, she pulled herself together and got herself a new, interesting life!
My best friend's long-term relationship ended abruptly a while back, just after her father passed. I'm so full of admiration for her - instead of turning to drink or becoming crazy-depressed, she pulled herself together and made a new, exciting life her new reality.

That is very unusual. She should be proud of herself.

Yes, she should. She joined a community garden and helps out there, she got a part time job and took up badminton - not something she'd ever done before!

Wow, I wish more would follow her example. That's a recovery.

She's a very strong person and she also has lots of friends and family to help her. She's a lovely person and deserves the best in life!
