Kerry,

I can relate.  People change.  Friendships change.  I have tried to hold onto friends but realize that they don’t want to hold onto me.  I have distanced myself from friends because their lives moved in a different direction or that their behavior/attitudes/etc. have diverged from mine.

Life is not static.

I get both sad and angry from those past friends that decide that they are no longer my friend.

First and foremost I would love myself and accept that some people are not meant to stay as friends.

Mark
