We find consolation in the Will of God as many of us walk this path. Praying.

something i've learned, maddie, never say never -- God has a way of healing relationships sometimes that we thought would be impossible. praying.

Will pray Maddie, but also for the person you apparently offended, that they can see the innocent mistake for what it was, forgive and just get over it!

Thank you all for your prayers, I am feeling a little stronger today. I think Anne nailed my feelings on the loss, it has been very traumatic.

Yes, I wish this person would forgive me, but too much damage has been done at this point. My heart will always ache.

That is so hard. I have also been down that road and asked for forgiveness...only to be given the silent treatment...for years...and still to this day.   

Praying for you.

My heart feels for you! For I too, am in this kind of a situation with a family member. I've prayed about it ALOT! After saying a Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, what came back to me was Our Lady wanted me to still care.   Remember her in your prayers, be kind whenever you see her and God will take care of the rest

Ouch MAddie, this is soo painful. I, too, know this pain. I try to remember, that in your pain you are the single most powerful person to offer prayers for your friend. It is precisely in your pain, you are given your powerful intersession.

Maddie,
You will be in my prayers. I have been down this road, too, and believe it or not, my friend and I did reconcile and now have a stronger, more mature friendship. Go to Jesus, your Divine Friend, and you will be comforted. Hugs to you!

Prayers, Maddie. I agree to just be kind when you see her. You said you wre sorry, so now you have to just act normally, which may mean not talking to her, but still, act like yourself and if she is your true friend, she will find it in her heart to forgive you I am sure.
