My best friends mum was taken ill suddenly and had to have a bypass its not looking good so am very worried BUT I sent a text message to another friend where I wrote" I really don't think her mum is going to make it" and oh damn I sent it to my friend whose mum is ill by mistake??? I feel like crap what do you do? Will she take this badly god feel like such an idiot? anyone any advice and a big hole I can crawl into? She sent me a text saying I don't think that text was meant for me? I said I was sorry was just telling a friend about your mum and she hasn't responded? really feel like crap also very down as her mum may die soon and ive know her for years I guess this is it when our friends parents start to die and makes us very aware of our own parents and their passing. anyone got some great advice as to how I deal with this?xx
Be more aware of your text sending.
(And yes, this has happened to everyone) :-)
I would call her personnally and leave a heartfelt message; then write a personal note if you can't get together with her in person. She might not be texting because she is so caught up with mom, drs, care, etc. at these moments and doesn't have time to write back. I think a voicemail followed by a personal call/note later is the way to go here. Be there when you can and when it counts as she goes thru this tough period.
