Wow. I never looked at it that way. Thank you for the input. It seems cold to put relationships into the context of "it doesn't benefit her or you any longer". I would hope someone wouldn't be my friend out of charity. That makes me seem pathetic, which I am not.

I just wish she had given us the opportunity to talk about issues as they came up, and not to just decide that she is done with me, so that's it. I don't operate that way, so it feels very foreign to me. She is a very matter-of-fact person, I'm more sensitive.

i know she probably won't talk with me about it, probably never. Just seeking advice on how to take care of myself in light of this. Being around her at work will be awkward, but I can fake it. We are supposed to go on a trip with 2 other ladies in 2 weeks out of state. Considering not going, because it will feel awkward.
