Tulip-
I know how you feel. This whole IF process has really changed my relationships with people. Some for the worse, but some friendships have grown, too, with the hardship. I'm so sorry you are suffering the loss of a friend, it is hard enough to suffer with our other losses and dissapointments. Maybe the friendship can be saved if you tell her about your grief and hurt, and explain how hard it was for you--if she can be a good supportive friend to you, it will be worth it to try, and if she can't, then you will know.
Relationships are challenged by IF, but some beautiful ones are made and strengthened, too.

I hope I didn't cause you anymore hurt. My intentions were for you to see another point of view so perhaps with understanding you would let go of some the hurt. Sometimes when we see the other persons point of view, especially a friend, we are able to let go some of the anger or negative feelings with a little more ease. If the friendship is lost then at least you'll know in your heart that you wished her well and all that negative energy will be gone. I agree with Teagan 873, you are very compassionate and supportive and I feel very lucky to have this small bit of you.
