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.

This is a delicate situation. You are grieving yet your friend sees you as a source of hope in his/his sister’s time of need.
What type of relationship did you have with them. If you could turn back the clock and the same request was made, would you oblige?
If so, there is nothing wrong with replying with a deferral or I’ll consider in the future.
If not, then kindly reply with a no thank you based on AI attachment.
I’m only 62 and within the past year have embraced the reunion of many relationships that went stale over the past 20-25 years.
This is ultimately your decision. I encourage you to not only reach out to those of us on this forum.
