Have you tried a different method of approach? A way that she won’t be able to ignore?

@ZEPHYRA This is It. Unfortunately she is married and has children.

Fifteen years is a looong time to “pine” over the lost friend. It time to move on and find a new friend. And next time make sure it is not an online only friend.

Fifteen years is a long time but i know how it feels to lose a best friend.If you’re still pining over losing this person then you should try to talk to her in person and try to work things out.If the two of you can’t work things out then get some closure and move on.Good luck to you!

So, you haven’t communicated with her in 15 years? Was there more than friendship involved there? Why were all your emails “unread” to begin with? I wish I could be helpful and give advice oh now to get over this loss. But, I really don’t know. I mean, sometimes I grieve over the loss of my first marriage that ended 16 years ago, but that’s kind of different. I guess it’s just going to take more time.

Write a letter, but keep it casual – don’t get intense.

It’s been a long time. People change. Maybe she’s changed since then. I would send her an email or text and see what happens. Tell her you want to get together and talk. If she doesn’t respond in reasonable fashion, then you know to move on.
