Episode 6 Losing a Friend: When the Silence Hurts Most

What happens when your best friend becomes a stranger? In this deeply emotional episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie open up about one of the hardest—and often least talked about—parts of friendship: the grief that comes with losing someone who once knew your whole heart.

Whether it’s a falling out, a slow fade, or the death of a soul-connected friend, the aftermath of friendship loss can be just as painful as a breakup—or worse. From ghosting to goodbye, they share their personal stories of heartbreak, reflect on the search for closure, and offer real, compassionate advice for navigating the silence.

In This Episode:

• What it feels like to lose a best friend—emotionally and energetically [02:20]
• The friendships that faded without warning—and the ache they leave behind [07:15]
• Why friendship grief is valid and deserves space [12:40]
• What to do when closure never comes [17:50]
• How to honor your memories without staying stuck [22:30]
• The quiet beauty of healing, releasing, and moving forward [26:05]

If you’ve ever cried over a friendship that ended, this episode is your safe space. Because even when it’s over, it still mattered—and so do you.
