Well, it could be the holiday blues. If you have known your friend for 35 years (bravo for that!) could you just gently let her know you are feeling a little sensitive/low and ask her to not talk to you as though you don't know anything. Maybe you could ask her if she has something worrying her and in sharing things you can both get back on track.
