Praying for the friend who ghosted you is a way to let go without pretending it didn’t hurt.

Being dropped without explanation leaves nothing to respond to, which is why it is so hard to finish. There is no conversation, no reason given, just an absence where somebody used to be. Wishing them well is a way of putting it down without deciding it was fine. You can release a person and still know you were treated badly.

Stop drafting the message that explains how it felt. Say something generous about them once, out loud, and then leave it there. Spend the time you were giving to their silence on somebody who answers.
