Other than that, your mom's funeral is really something you should be worrying about. Dragging others with you because of a relationship they share with you is pretty darn selfish. "Hey, you're my friend (of some degree), you didn't support my fight vs emotional pains by not comming!" If I had a dentist appointment planned, or even wanted to plan one, I'd of definately skipped such an invitation too.

It depends on the friendship. I guess it was something miki4 was expecting from her, based on experience and the past relationship and what she would have done normally...

If you feel your friend is somehow alienating herself from you, also move back a few steps. It might be neither your fault nor your friend's, but just the natural development of human beings. It will save you energy thinking too much about it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
