So my friends and I have a group chat on WhatsApp where we mainly speak nonsense or arrange get togethers (pre Covid obviously).
Friend in group chats 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with cancer last week and we're all obviously gutted for them.
After a few days of my friend updating us on her, another friend starts going on about a weekend away we have booked for September and if we think it will still go ahead. Now, I get she was meaning will it go ahead due to Covid etc but it just felt really shitty to be discussing it when other friend is going through hell right now.
The other girls were all chatting like 'oh I hope we get to go', and I'll needing a break from my kids' etc. I was horrified! I text friend to say I'm so sorry they are chatting about that when I'm sure it's the last thing on your mind. She text back saying she's really angry and upset and I don't blame her.
We've all been friends since primary school and nobody in the group is malicious or nasty just a bit thoughtless perhaps?
AIBU to say something to the others and what should I say?
