Hi Irene,
  I am so upset with my best friend because she refuses to accept my apology or listen to me. She won’t forgive me no matter what I say. She says there’s no way back and I should let it go.
Signed,
Maya
Hi Maya,
  I can understand how upsetting it is to lose a best friend. Best friends have an emotional investment (感情投资) in the friendship. They also spend a great deal of time together,  so breakups leave a huge sadness in both friends’ lives.
You haven’t shared the details of the argument or misunderstanding you had with your friend but problems may appear unexpectedly in all relationships. Sincere apologies can often smooth things over. In fact,  they can make the relationship stronger.
Why won’t your friend forgive you?  Here are a few possibilities:
·The mistake was so serious (e. g. a poor judgment) that it was unforgivable;
·Your friend over-reacted (反应过激) for uncertain reasons (e. g. perhaps because of her past or other things going on in her life now);
·This was one of a series of mistakes or misunderstandings,  a final straw (稻草) that led your friend to say there was no way back.
You did the right thing by apologizing. Now you have to take a step back and give your friend the time she needs to cool off. You could try writing to her a note if you want to explain yourself but avoid apologizing repeatedly.
If she doesn’t respond or change her mind,  there’s not much more that you can do. It takes two persons to sustain a close friendship. 
  Hope this helps and that you begin to heal from this loss.
Best,
Irene
