After hurting an on-line friend (many months ago) and not being forgiven, despite being told so, I let go tonight. I have just deleted all emails, I have deleted every trace of her from my computer. I will never forget her, or the tangible things in my household that she sent me, but I had to let go. Her silence after forgiving was so loud.
Now I just need to stick to what I have done. It still hurts so much. I told her so much. I don't want to have to regret it.

Sabrina,
Just recently I lost a best friend that I had been friends with since i was 12. ( I am 29 now) I had been there for her and her for me. She said i distroyed a frined ship over something totally not my fault. but whatever. I know what it is like to try and apologize and get nothing back. I know what it is like to try to communicate and get nothing.. I am sorry for your pain and for your loss. pm if you would like

Thank you Lilith - it hurt but I guess I eventually came to terms (or am trying to) with that.

It's so hard to come to that decision. It's sad. It's a loss. But sometimes letting go is the healthiest thing you can do. Someone wise once said when asked how she coped with so many losses, "You have to let go of what's gone, because then you are free to accept the new."
As she said this, she started with closed hands, and opened them and held her arms out as she "let go", which then left her in a welcoming and open stance. It was very powerful, and I've never forgotten it. I try to remember this, but I also grieve over losses and wish that I didn't have to go through it. I wish you didn't either. ((((Sabrina)))) gg
