Whom to tell this sad news

Question - (21 February 2024) 4 Answers - (Newest, 24 February 2024)
A female United States age , anonymous writes:

Hi! It’s hard to talk about this, but here goes. A dear friend has just told me that she has eight weeks to live (medical prognosis) and of course I will visit, etc. She’d like that, she said.

What I’m wondering is, how to decide who to tell. Most specifically, a very good friend of ours whom if I’ve seen more recently than she has. I’m worried it might be too much, or too private to tell this friend, but if I don’t I might regret it later. She’s an extremely nice friend but extremely busy and with her own pressures.

Please help me figure out whether to inform her or not?????

Thank you!

Honeypie agony auntIt's not for you to share.

Your sick friend can PICK and CHOOSE who she wants to tell and whom she doesn't.

I'm sorry that your friend is in this situation.

I'd ask that friend if there is anyone she would like me to share this with.
