My friend told me she forgot that my dad died!

I was talking to my friend last week, and she told me that she forgot my dad died and how it's hard for her to deal with traumatic things. Should I be upset? I know we all have a lot going on.

My dad died nine months ago! Not sure if i'm just being selfish, we're all human after all.

They could be going through a phase of amnesia. I went through it and it stayed for two years. I would always forget that my best friend is married, even though we'd speak to each other every week, and in mid conversation I would say something like "let's escape to the hills for a week" and she'd be like "Um... I'm married" and I'd feel embarrassed.
Amnesia can occur with depression and anxiety.
I hope both of you are doing okay.
