There is this guy I have not seen in twenty years nor his sister. That time when I saw them was at a funeral for a mutual friend. To make a long story short, this past year my niece passed away and four months later her father, my brother, passed away also. This guy who is one of my Facebook friends is aware of this because I posted it on Facebook. This guy private messaged me to call his sister because she has health issues. I have not seen or talk to his sister in over twenty years. What would you do? I find it strange and inconsiderate for him to do this as he is aware of my loss.

You kind and sensitive nature is a gift, but we all have control over how our gifts are shared. Clearly, you are still experiencing your own losses and this acquaintance seems to have missed that. Perhaps politely acknowledge that this isn’t the best time for you, but that you’ll keep his concerns in mind for the future. Then, if he still doesn’t get the message either unfriend or block him. Lots of choices. Good luck!
