Is it normal to not know how to deal with losing a really good friend?

Some 5 years ago, I had a friend who was really like a brother to me. We always got along great, but eventually we've had some serious arguments. Although I still understand why I did what I did at the time, I also know that I'm partly to blame as well...

Anyway, he has broken off ALL contact since, and I know for about 99% he's NOT willing to be friends again. I also would feel pretty humiliated to approach him after all this time, I must say.

I think the best thing I can do, is just try to move on. I do have a few other pretty good friends (not many though), but none of them is like the brother I once had, that's why I feel it's such a shame. What do you think of my situation?

    I recently went though something like this with a girl I was close friends with. We weren't talking anymore, and I didn't think I could approach her. I honestly thought she hated me. Anyway one day, I gave in and talked to her. We ended up apologizing to each other, and now we're friends again. If you really want this friend back, it's worth a shot. The worse thing that can happen is things will stay the way they are now.

    How can we think anything of it? You didnt even explain what you two got in an argument for. Maybe people will be able to answer you better if you just explained a bit of The argument.

    Write him a letter. Just make sure your to the point about all of this. Convey what you want him to understand proficiently. Sign it with blood.

    Forget about your pride and just approach him. If I were you I would rather be humiliated then lose a friend that's like a brother to me. I mean what's the worse thing that could happen when you approach him?
