Grieving the end of a friendship that turned romantic? This week I answer a listener question about the grief and confusion that comes when a close friendship becomes romantic — and then ends.

Whether you're experiencing a friendship breakup, a "friends-to-lovers" heartbreak, or navigating unspoken feelings, I offer compassionate advice to help you process the pain, find closure (even if it's one-sided), and validate your emotions.

🎙️ In this episode:

How to grieve a friendship breakup with romantic feelings involved
Why blurred boundaries can deepen the heartbreak
Self-blame, red flags, and learning to trust yourself again
Healing after queer friendships and relationships end
Tips for protecting your heart and rebuilding your social support
Unique challenges in queer friendships and relationships — and how to navigate them with care
