This is a hard one - she is my 88 year old aunt and I do not have contact with my cousins.
She has called and spoken to me 5 times in three days to tell me her son in law has died ( this is true )
When she called the third time I did tell her she told me already and she just said - "Oh dear, so sorry - never get old - I should write stuff down".
Anyway she called again today and left a message on the answering machine for me to call her.
Should I
a ) not call her back
b) pretend I do not know about her SIL
c) tell her she has already told me ?
Help !
