Sent an emoji in response to me telling her my mum has cancer

Would you write off this *Friendship

Messaging with a friend I haven’t seen in a while, due to covid (now live in different countries) I’d say I’d consider to have once been one of my best friends.
She asked how things were going and said what she was up to. I responded lots to her recent news, asking questions etc, then told her about my mum recently having an op to remove cancer and that she was ok but it was obviously upsetting and a shock to find out. I also asked some advice about my Dd (she’s a professional in the area I’m concerned about with my Dd-school etc )
I had no reply for a couple of days and then just a silly emoji response thing to a story I posted on Fb
Would you be hurt by this? Or do I need to chill out?

@lottiegarbanzo I’m not jittery and desperate for a response…I’m a bit upset that someone I considered a good friend seemingly doesn’t view me the same way

[quote Needtodothebigshop]@Mantlemoose No I didn’t go into my things straightaway, she’d told me lots about things going on in her life, good, happy, chatty things. She then asked me about my family and my DD’s situation etc, that’s when I said in answer to her asking how they were.

It was four days ago, not two, just double checked[/quote]
I wonder then if she genuinely just wanted to speak about 'nice things,. I know that didn't help you but sometimes it's hard even keeping things on an even keel? Try to forget about it, it might just be mixed messages. Hope your mum gets on ok with her treatment.

@Mantlemoose I’m sure we all want to talk and think about nice things, but that’s not life is it 🤷🏻‍♀️Majority of the time we do

Still no reply
