I've known this woman all my life, she is old enough to be my mother and is actually close friends with my mother, too. She has always been kinda "closed" as far as sharing things, but used to open up to me and has just been in this "funk" for a good almost ten years now, my husband was starting to think she didn't exist! If I visit her, she is snippy and every now and then we'll talk on the phone but I go months/years trying to contact her every now and then (she travels a lot so I can't complain whole-heartedly) and just occasionally do I get to talk with her. I've talked to her once in the last year, but adore the heck out of her and how do I even tie her down to tell her that? Any ideas???

Send her a nice card, and tell her how you feel

Maybe she doesn't push everyone away. You said she travels. Maybe she has new friends she travels with. Write her a letter and tell her how you feel and ask her to write to you or call to respond. If that fails then I'd leave her alone.

maybe something is bothering her. maybe she is depressed. my advice is write her a letter send it in the mail and ask her to contact you if your friendship means anything. If you do not hear from her some people are just in our lives for a period of time and then they move on. it is a emotionally hard thing to go thru losing friends is hard. i am sure you will make more. Also maybe she is jealous of you life it is hard to say why people choose to leave their circle of friends.

probably she takes you for granted and thinks you are just an ordinary casual friend ...she kind of know your family too well, she could be hurt easily which she does not want to show and perhaps hide her feelings when she is feeling very down with low morale and support from you....

just let her be, thats the best thing give her privacy,thats who she is, I too am like that i am friendly sometimes i share my ideas and life but many times i feel the need to push everyone away, the feeling gets to you as if nobody would be able to comfort you. beleive me it would just piss her off if you would continue pushing yourself to her issues, usually if she sees that you are willing to give her space and time she';ll be more likely to talk again

Maybe when you do speak with her tell her how much she does mean to you.
