We all long for "friends forever"-but what happens when forever ends?
They say friends are the family we choose. And that choosing-the joy of loving and being loved by someone who isn't genetically obligated to share life with us-adds priceless worth to our days, but also great risk. Because hurt can happen even in the closest friendships, and sometimes friendships fall apart. The loss can be staggering. As we struggle to digest the pain and confusion, we wonder, How could this happen? And what do I do now?
In When a Friendship Falls Apart, beloved author Elizabeth Laing Thompson comes alongside readers as they process their struggling friendships-the faltering, the fractured, and the failed. Blending personal story, biblical examples, and faith-filled wisdom, each page explores questions like the following:
- How do we guard against the poison of bitterness so we can process the hurt and move forward?
- When and how do we seek reconciliation? What does forgiveness look like?
- How do we know when it's time to leave a friendship behind?
- How do we open up again and entrust our wounded hearts to new friendships?
If you find yourself in the midst of a friendship that's falling apart, or you're grappling with past hurts and regrets, this book is for you. May it be a comfort and help, leading you closer to the Friend who will never leave.
