All the things no one ever teaches you how to do! Brought to you by two friends who thought there must be a better use for their outrageously long voice notes.

    How to: Grieve the loss of a friendship

Often, it comes with a sense of grief, not only for the memories you may have shared, but for having the presence of a certain friend in your life.
