I try not to make these threads. I think I've made a handful in the years I've posted here. Here goes. I found out today that a causal acquaintance/friend died at a young age. We don't know how or exactly when yet. Now I was connected to her mostly through my best friend. My best friend and the deceased had been very close for several years, at one point rooming together, until their relationship turned sourer and they lost contact. At the same time the deceased was dating another friend of mine so I kept contact with her. During that time she often asked me about our mutual friend, how she was doing, etc. She asked me never to tell our friend that she asked about her or that she was worried about her. She asked me to keep her informed of our friend when I saw her. Today I found out from our mutual friend that she was dead. There is very little information available about exactly what happened. But now my best friend is upset that she could have saved our friend (I don't think she could have) and I know that the deceased was trying in someways to reach out to her through me... but I choose to respect her wishes and let her contact her on her own time (I have 0 guilt about that) but now I'm torn as to whether or not I tell my friend about our conversations over the past year or so or not.
