Prudie: My daughter’s best friend is getting married, and I can’t stand it. What should I do?

55% Informative
Dear Prudence: I lost my daughter three years ago .
My granddaughter's father is remarrying to her best friend, but I don't think I will be able to stand it.
I'm working through my feelings, but right now, I don’t think I’m on solid enough ground to attend the wedding.
To see someone step into the role of the daughter you lost, it's just really hard.
Dear Prudie: Is this friendship salvageable? If you believe someone is an “antisemitic jew,” and have so little care for their feelings that you’ve told them in no uncertain terms how awful they are, you can’t possibly still want to hang out with them.
If someone is being unkind to you (specifically, by saying terrible things about you to your face) and you're feeling like the situation is tricky, fraught, and confusing.
