For Sonja

I am so sorry for your situation. However, from your post it is apparent that you are a very bright, insightful woman and even more important you have good common sense.

As for your friend, simply say that you only wish to say, "It just didn't and couldn't work." Sometimes it's better to say as little as possible. My grandmother's saying was, "Those who say little, say much."

You are blessed to have learned an invaluable lesson. Just because it looks good and might feel good to you doesn't mean that it's good for you.
