Just put them back in your life. your not close to them, your not listening to them, you are not including them in your social circle or taking a walk with them or writing them a note. ANYTHING will actually work. What can I do for you? I would like to help. Then send another text every now and then.

1)"I am just too busy write now (ie the last 14 months) and I just cannot write back to your text, it is just too much for me right now. I wish you strength and healing."

2) I hope you can hire people or go to outside organizations who can be there for you. I certainly can't (of course the person is actively in therapy and NOT seeking therapy from friends).

3) "I am with you, I do hope you can find a way to work through your anger and rebuild yourself (I will continue to ignore you when you come to shul) but will pray for you as well"

check in the way you can, just three times. they do not have to be your best friend. Just bring them to your dinner table. drop off hamburgers for shabbat with 2 days notice "I am bringing this, ive got extra, will you be home, if not I will leave it in a cooler for you. hope to see your face at shul soon."
