A friend is one of the greatest assets that any person can have. Apart from the good times that friends share by being in each others' company, having a good friend in life means much more. It means having someone who provides strength and support and makes life worth the moments that are spent together. So when there is a rift or break in a friendship (for whatever reasons) it is one of the greatest losses that a person can experience. After a breakup in friendship, a person might go through several emotions that range from anger, sadness, hurt, cynicism and depression - all of which fall under the natural process of healing.
Select quotes that illustrate these emotions have been listed below. Go through these and see if you can identify with the same.
