Hi AbbyNormal – I’m really sorry to read your post – sorry about how it turned out.
Relationships of any kind are about compromise, understanding, forgiveness, honesty and caring/love. I think you showed all those qualities in your letter.
The outcome is hurtful and sad – but you did the right thing and at least you’re not going to have future regrets about not sending the letter. You have done what you can.
She’s in a bad place at the moment – she’ll be scared and angry about her illness. Eventually she will think about your letter and appreciate it. She might be too stubborn to retrieve the friendship, but you have acted decently and deep down she’ll know that.
Take heart that you’re a good person. Be kind to yourself.
Hugs.
