Very recently a friend & I enjoyed a wonderful vacation. We returned to learn that her father passed away while we were away, but she was very well prepared for this and her family agreed that if anything happened while she was away, they would wait 'til she got back home. Being a good friend, I wanted to stand beside her, but she said some weird things and it hurt me. She'll speak to a mutual friend in a very friendly way, but with me she seems withdrawn. I don't know which emotion is true..the one with me, or with the mutual friend. The service for her Dad isn't until next week. She did tell the mutual friend that flowers weren't appropriate. I disagree. I'm at wits end here and would appreciate anything you might offer. She did explain however that if she seems withdrawn, it's because she needs to be whatever she needs to be at that particular time, BUT the difference in emotion toward the mutual friend is extremely confusing.
