Hello, Never an easy situation, and I can understand it is difficult all around. Please don't take your friend's response personally. Yes, she probably is hiding something from you: her grief. It is a perfectally normal response to not want to be near something that stirs up your greatest emotional pain! Give her time and space and don't stop being there for her and making the approach but also be sensitive that any time she spends with you will no doubt make her confront her own feelings.

This is what being a friend in the hard times is about!!
