Cake, maybe I can offer a story to help with a different POV about your friend's passing.

Years ago I had an online friend I was very close to. I called him my Little Bro. He was the oldest in his family and I was the youngest. He was younger than me and we got a kick out of me being his Big Sis.

Anyway, he had a blood disorder similar to hemophilia that was going to be terminal. When he got close to the end of his life he intentionally cut off contact with us online. It wasn't that we were no longer close. It was that he wanted retreat within himself as the end came. It hurt. I still miss him, and it's been years, but I respect the decision he made. Maybe your friend wanted something similar?
