My bridesmaid stepped down

Hi all, one of my bridesmaids stepped down tonight. She’s going through a super rough person time, which I completely understand. I don’t resent her, but I am pretty bummed. I’m wondering (probably irrationally, but due to my own personal issues) if I’m a bad friend. More than anything I hope I didn’t add to her stress and anxiety by asking her to be a BM and talking to her about the wedding (she’s definitely excited for it and loves wedding talk, but I know she’s not in the best mind space for it). I always asked beforehand if I could talk to her about it. I’m just sad, and more than anything I wish I could help her feel better.

The only one who could tell you what she needs is your friend. you have to trust that if you weren't being a good friend, she would tell you. There are some of us who love wedding talk and planning weddings. Tbh, when I get stressed out, it's my go to. Your friend may be the same way. Only she can tell you though.
Hope all gets better.

Of course you're not a bad friend. Sometimes we have people just have a lot going on in our lives that it's hard for us to always may be fully be there as of the person needed but it sounds to me like you try to talk to her about it and be there for her. That's all you can continue to do is just love and support her and just let her know that you are there for her when she needs it.

I think you’re showing the type of friend you are by this post! You seem to me that you are considerate and compassionate and your friend knows this. I think in this time for her all you can do is be there and check in. Reach out and ask how are things and help her deal, i’m sure she’s bummed as well that she had to step down. It’s always tough when you want to help someone but just don’t know how, I say just be there and continue being a great friend.

You are 100% not a bad friend, Alejandra. The fact you're even asking this lets me know you're a kind and considerate person. It's totally normal to feel disappointed, so don't feel guilty about that. All you can do is be there for your friend during this time, which I'm sure you always are
