a friend of mine from like 10 years ago's mother died this week, I was talking to someone else that knew her and this is what happened I was like "you knew so and so right? he said "yeah" I said "did you know her mother" "I think so" "this is awful but she died this week" he didn't know her too well but i felt like I shouldn't have said that, but i feel like he had the right to know, but was I wrong for saying that? I feel like I've done this before, where I'll spill bad news about someone but feel like the person has the right to know, but I feel like I break it in a horrible way. thoughts? is there a better way to tell someone that an aquaintance has died, or just don't mention it even if they will never find out most likely?
