Dear Eric: We are a group of three female former co-workers who have gathered regularly for 10 years to celebrate birthdays and Christmas. We have taken turns at each other’s homes and always had a nice time eating, laughing and reminiscing together.

This year, one member of our group ghosted the other two of us. She will not respond to phone calls or messages. We are totally in the dark and confused by this and don’t know if we should continue to reach out or let it go.

She has given us no indication, at any time, of a problem. She recently became a grandma and didn’t invite us to the baby shower.

My feeling is to let it go and hope she is OK. What do you think we should do?
