my mom , who 's in her 60s , lost her best friend today , who passed away . she was one of the only friends my mother had , and i feel sad for her since she lost a connection to her childhood and past . she seems really lonely . i 'm so sorry to hear that . it 's hard losing someone that dear to her . i hope she opens herself up to healing . yeah , just does n't feel like there 's much to offer her . i 'm also not living close , so i can only have phone conversations with her , which , again , does n't offer much . she 's a good person , so i hate to see her so bent out of shape it 's gon na take some time , and i 'm sure those phone calls help more than you think .
