Basically... a couple of days ago my girlfriend told me her mum was taken to hospital. I asked if she was ok and she said she didnt want to talk about it because it would only upset her. So the day after I said again is she doing ok and she said they are keeping her in, I asked what happened and she said she didnt want to talk about it. So shes now refused to speak about it twice so I can no longer ask. Its been days now and Im extremely worried about her mum and the rest of her family but Im being kept in the dark and I have no way of finding out whats happening.
Ok, maybe its none of my business, but its just because I know nothing, its human nature to think the worst and so I literally cant sleep right now or stop worrying about this. Its 6pm in the UK right now.. Im supposed to be going out with friends to watch the football tonite etc but I just dont feel up to it because I just cant eat/sleep/concentrate on anything but this right now.
Im so so worried. Its as hard as it would be if it was a member of my family because I love her parents, they are great. I dont think her family have told anyone in the town about this. I think its all being kept secret. I want to ask her brother but I dont want to upset him either. Im dreading something really bad is happening.
Logically... it cant be too bad... I mean her bro and dad were in the pub playing pool etc and my girlfriend still wants to see me. If it was something really bad then her family would be at the hopsital 24/7.
Should I just wait this out and hope she gets better? The whole thing brings back bad memories I have. When I was 16 my life long friend was taken to hospital. 2 days later, before I even understoody why, he died. I never really grieved for him... I was stunned. For months I just didnt say much and even now I still think about him most days. Im just really confused right now.
Im sorry if this post has lowered the tone or has been kinda inappropriate but what should i do. give her family space and deal with the worry.. or is there a tactful way I can ask whats up to put my mind at ease? It could be nothing major... and Im worrying for nothing. But is this what I have to do?
