Offer Melinda advice for how to move forward?

You have to write Melinda advice about moving forward? The first thing you'd have to do is convince her to talk to you....... she will never be able to completely move forward into the future without having first looked at the past. You'd need to be a real friend, something not easily found today. To offer anyone advice, that advice needs to be given in circumstances of utmost trust and held onto in the same way. Melinda was shunned, called a liar, and trust was broken by everyone she knew....... trust comes first.
