Pretend you are your friend. Imagine you are the sick one, you are missing school and fun stuff with friends, you are taking medications, feeling unwell and scared, and unsure of your future. How would you want your friend to behave? It's easy to put her illness out of your mind and go on with your life as normal. But don't forget her. She has been pretty clear about her feelings, even if not to your face. I think you need to spend time with her, apologize, and let her know she is important to you. It's not too late. This hits home for me because I've been in her shoes and had a friend disappear. It was traumatic for me. At any time I would've let her back into my life. But she decided that it was too difficult for her (and this is selfish, I believe) to make the effort when I needed her most.
Is it normal to avoid apologizing to your former best friend?
