I'll try to keep this short.
I have been working 2 part time jobs for quite a while now. Toward the end of January this year I was told my main job (librarian) was eliminated effective immediately. I still haven't found another part time job and my savings are pretty much gone. But here is the problem I need advice on.

The woman I reported to was supposed to also be my friend. The last couple of months last year I had noticed she was unavailable to me a lot and when I asked her if she and her boyfriend wanted to meet us for dinner she always had to work. When I was told about my job being eliminated she arranged for someone from HR to tell be during what was a scheduled meeting between the two of us. The boss just sat there while I listened in shock. I managed to ask her how long she had know she said since the budget was released. (That was the beginning of October.) So she knew this was happening for 4 months and never told me. I could have had 4 more months to look for another job!

Since were were friends we shared a lot of personal information and we consoled each other whenever we had problems. She was kind when each of my parents died and I did everything I could think of to help her when her father was diagnosed with a really nasty form of cancer. Well, her father died yesterday and I am just torn about how I should proceed. Do I send her a card or do I let it go? She is well aware of how hurt and angry I have been and since I don't think she is the person I thought she was I don't want to renew any type of relationship with her. That's it.

How would you go about addressing this issue?
