I’m so sorry. Even if you never specifically asked her not to share, most people wouldn’t post others’ very personal struggles online. I’ve learned the hard way that some people can’t be trusted not to gossip about everything they’re told.

As others said, if trust is gone, friendship is over. She owes you a sincere apology. What she did isn’t ok.

It wasn't like she brought it up with good intentions (as in, You should seek help etc for your own good)
It was from a cruel angle, and the context of it all too (posting on FB in your social circle)

Cut ties from her, and tell her off on Facebook with something like "Your comments were uncalled for and friends do not betray/ cross the line like this"
That would also send the message to others in the circle to watch their back around her

Here's what you can say on Facebook.

"Wow, what a cute puppy".

"Is that beet salad? Was it good? Do you have the recipe".

"Wow, gorgeous sunset".

"I'm so sorry for your loss. He sounds like a lovely person."

That's all. That's all you should be saying on facebook.

This would seem to be totally the wrong tack to take if the OP would like the comment deleted.

If the OP doesn't want this aspect of her personal problems on FB then she should get on the stick and ask to have it deleted before doing anything else.

You can delete any comments on your FB page, you don't have to wait for the person who wrote the comment to remove it.

It’s on a third friend’s page.

It went totally past me too. With all the references to "she", I thought it was the same "she."

If she said it as a direct reply to you, you can delete your comment and her comment will also be deleted.

I would never speak to this person again. Ever. Also, block her on all social media.
