Ghosting

After my husband died I ghosted his best friend and his wife.
When they heard he had a terminal illness they didnt want to see him. The friend said "I can't hack this"

My husband would ask if the friend had phoned and I would lie and say he had been asleep or that they had gone away for a month to Australia.

After he died they did phone, left a d sent Christmas cards. I never answered the phone or contacted them in any way.
I was angry so thought it best to just ignore them and not give way to what I really wanted to say.

If I met them now, twenty years later, I know I couldn't even be polite.

My fiance ghosted me.
Just wouldn't answer phone calls or texts, and I never saw him again.

I was in the midst of incredibly difficult times, which he knew, because he was with my family and helped us through some terrible, dark times.

I think, in the end though, it was too much for him, so he took the easiest route out.
