Grief changes everything—including friendships. If you’ve ever felt abandoned by friends during your hardest moments and struggled to reconnect after loss, this episode is for you. We’ll dive into why friendships sometimes fade in grief, how to rebuild those relationships, and practical steps you can take today to reconnect. Healing broken friendships takes time, but God can restore what was lost.

• Why grief often strains friendships.
• How to take the first step in reconnecting with old friends.
• The importance of grace, patience, and prayer in rebuilding relationships.
• Why different friends meet different needs—and why that’s okay.
• How to balance sharing your grief while being present for others.

• Be the first to reach out. A simple message can start the process of reconnection.
• Extend grace. Grief affects both you and your friends—give yourself and them room to grow.
• Friendships require effort. Show up for your friends in their joyful and painful moments.
• Not all friendships will look the same. Some friends will hold space for your grief, while others will bring lighthearted joy. Both are valuable.
• Pray over your friendships. Ask God to restore and strengthen the relationships that are meant to last.
