Do I or don’t I?

I will keep it brief! I had a childhood friend , who after 40 plus years of friendship cut me out for no particular reason.
They moved away and this was 15 years or so ago.
I recently discovered that she has moved back , not too far from me. I also discovered that she had lost her partner .
I am torn as to whether to make contact or leave well alone
It’s sad that the friendship ended but equally I don’t want to make a mistake by getting in touch. Would appreciate any comments thanks

I agree. These things happen for all kinds of reasons. Someone takes umbrage over something and decides to keep a distance for a time. Weeks and months go by after which it’s hard to bridge the gap that’s opened up. As the only animal which can communicate with words, we can be pretty lousy at it.

What’s the worst that can happen if you make an approach? She could still be harbouring a grudge over something that happened years ago or may regret that you lost contact, be feeling the same as you and be delighted to hear from you.
