mneme:
That may be the problem, she has always had contention there. But I believe she is ill too. I am praying and that will make her come around and hopefully try to work out what is happening.

Justi, my contribution: could she be really unhappy in her marriage? Sometimes that can make a peerson become withdrawn.

I'm sorry about this. . .
Is she also avoiding church? Is it a spiritual issue, do you think? All you can do is pray. I'm sorry you are going through this.

Yes I believe you and Taps are both right. I have suspected this for some time. I did ask and she totally denied anything was different. She said she is the same as always and nothing is wrong. Now she does not take the phone calls.

hey Magnolia lady...
My first thought was the same as TAPS'- Do you think she could be ill, physically or mentally, and she is withdrawing? Can you call her and just ask her point blank what is going on? Tell her after being friends for so long that you are very concerned about her I do hope you get things straightened out. muser

Sometimes people just move on, or as Shelly says there might be a serious underlying health reason for her withdrawal. Puzzling situation.

My best friend of 15 years did this similar thing! I just gave her space and told her I was there for her anytime! She chose to move on! So, who really knows! I think praying for her peace is most appropriate at this juncture! It is a tough one because she won't return or answer calls! sam

Have you thought about maybe a physical ailment that she is having trouble handling? Pain or health concerns, lack of energy, certain illnesses can make a person withdraw and become completely different than they were when health, vim and vigor were taken for granted.

Justi .. I would continue to periodically try to reach out and ask how she is doing in order to let her know you care. Perhaps she is not ready to share a episode in her life. This has happened to me with a very dear friend and I kept reminding myself that often " Those who are hardest to love are those who need love the most." Now .. we are good friends again and I think maybe a closer because I did not pester her but let her know that I was alway's nearby if needed. Hope this helps you with your problem.
