I am extremely lonely as I have lost my female best friend!

I don't have the words to express my pain as I have lost my female best friend recently. I don't know how to describe the situation. I need someone to share my inner!

Hi and sorry for the long delay! Forum regulars are too thin on the ground at the moment. It is a free-for-all public forum of the traditional/old-fashioned variety, though, so, according to how it's supposed to work, please would you post a reply or two (your impressions/opinion/advice or sympathy - or just say Hi and that you're taking an interest in their problem!) to the other thread-creators who are sat waiting with you? (And note this same message is going to all of you.) Once our regulars, including myself, are in a position to, they'll no doubt contribute as well. Thanks! Soulmate (PS Depressed360: don't worry - we've all been when you are...just keep bearing with us for a little longer)

I'm so sorry, D360, I've been ill with sinus flu (it's going around in my region, like wildfire, easier to ask who *hasn't* got it), and it's one of those that trick you into thinking you're better when - you find out the very next day - it's so not. Are you still there? Describe the situation for me, in chronological order of the chain of events that led to the bust-up?
