[i][c=BF0080]I would respect their wishes, but it’d be hard for sure. If shared w/someone close to them, it’d likely be obvious and hard to hide knowing. Def a bad position to be in, but in the end I couldn’t live w/myself knowing I betrayed their confidence, so I wouldn’t. [/c][/i]

That information is your friends' to give. You were chosen and to betray that trust at this dreadful time would shatter him/her.
Keep the confidence.

I will try to persuade them to change their mind... my mother did this and her friends were crushed.

I would keep my mouth shut

I would keep the confidence even if I disagreed (and I [b]have[/b] done, in that situation). It would not be my information to share. 😞

If anyone of those close friends and family can save my friend I would contact them.

If not, I would just follow my friends wishes.

pentacorn · F

when in doubt, do nothing

the family and friends will have to respect the persons decision as well.

I'd either tell people or unfriend them there and then. I hate self centred people like that

Ferric67 · M

respect their wishes and do whatever I can to help them out.

Travelbug · 56-60, F

Yes they will tell their family when they feel the time is right.

Sidewinder · 36-40, M

My mind is the Fort Knox of secrets.

NoGamesTolerated · F

I can and I would honor their wishes!

Even though I'd feel for the family and friends, in no way would I want to take away the person's privacy, as well as power.

scorpiolovedeep · 46-50, M

Respect the trust, be confidential.

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

I would stay quiet. That’s not my need to tell
Or share.

Lilnonames · F
