It’s important to remember that your friend may be going through something that you don’t know about. It’s important to be understanding and give her the space she needs.
The best thing to do is to be patient and remember that your friendship is still important to her. You can reach out to her periodically to let her know that you are thinking of her and that you are there for her if she needs anything. It’s also important to offer her help if you can. Let her know that you’re willing to pick up some of her tasks or take something off her plate so that she can have more time for herself.
It can also be beneficial to reach out to her in different ways. If she’s too busy to talk on the phone or meet up in person, then send her a text or an email.
