Hi, dear one, and welcome to Psych Central! Sad to say. I sometimes find out friends of long standing have died when I don't get Christmas cards from them. It is hard. I found out my BFF was in the hospital and went to see her the day before she died.

I know it's harder when the news is unexpected. Also, can you see about getting a new bunny or some kind of pet?

It might actually help to talk to your other friends about the friend you lost. Maybe they know something or you can at least speculate and share memories.

Keep in touch. We care!
