Sick relative and friends

[Anydrinkwilldo]

Relative of mine is very sick in hospital? Had op on the brain and it's not known if she'll live, we've been told to take it hour by hour. AIBU that not one of my 'friends' has contacted me? Or am I over emotional and over thinking things. I know whenever I hear of anyone sick I'd send a text/Mass card or something to the relatives.

I think its hard to know how to respond, it is often peoples worry that that will annoy people by asking too much and its a fine line between the two.

I also think it depends how close a relative it is, and how close the people are too you.

If it was a direct relative (spouse, children, parents, siblings etc) I would be more likely to make contact than if it was a more distant relative.

They probably imagine that you are too worried about your relative to be answering texts or calls from them. I do hope everything goes well for you all.

Thanks for replies. They would be my closest friends which is why I find it unusual, one had a very sick mother recently and we all chipped in to send flowers etc.
it's my aunt who is ill, and my friends would also know her as we live on a small town.
