One of the things that we struggle with as adults after the death of our friends is what to do next. Do we approach their death with a philosophy of ‘it is better to have loved and lost’ or do we wade back into the friendship pool and look for a new best friend? Charlie’s third half segment addresses how to make friends as an adult.
Making new friends can be an uncomfortable process, time consuming, and uncomfortable. Making friends becomes even harder as we age. This week we talk about friendship, particularly making new friends after the death of a best friend. We feature a recipe for friendship cake, an interview with Chris, a woman coping with the death of her best friend.
