Is it wrong for me to be mad at my friends for this?

[Gummy Roach]

First of all, I am very sorry about your loss.

No, it's not wrong to feel that way towards your friends. Unfortunately, what you're describing is very common; friends offer their condolensces, and then it feels as if they've abandoned you. I believe you're right; they probably don't know what to say or do. It's awkward. Maybe they're afraid that they might be reminding you of your grief if they were to call you up and ask how you're doing.

One approach might be for you to reach out to them. Treat them the way you'd like to be treated. Call them up and say, "Hey, I was just thinking about you today..." It might take them by surprise, but maybe, just maybe, they'll get the hint. Please don't hate your friends for what seems like a lack of concern and compassion. They probably just don't know what to say or do. Maybe they don't realise that you would welcome their company. Maybe if you reach out to them, they'll realise that you can handle, and would welcome their company.

Best wishes
