Wedding/bridal shower/baby shower fatigue?

Hello everyone,

A good friend of mine informed me today that she is suffering from 'wedding/baby shower/bridal shower fatigue.' The catalyst of her statement is that we just received bridal shower invites for a mutual friend getting married this fall.

I'm excited for the first time 40 year old bride.

My good friend...not so much.

She said that she's emotionally exhausted from all of the celebrations because she dateless and lonely.

I don't know what to say (I'm rarely at a lost for words or advice).

This is not a financial issue, this is purely emotional.

She said the whole process of preparing for any of these events drains her. She added that it was fun when we were younger (she's 39, I'm 37), but after fifteen years of attending events (and holding out hope and prayers that your turn is coming), she's 'just tired.'

I read a few articles on this topic but they were lame.

Suggestions
