And don’t respond until you’ve talked to your sponsor. (Sorry if that was pushy. But seriously, go!)
I’m so incredibly sorry about your friend. I can’t believe I was going on about someone I didn’t know, and you were … it doesn’t matter. Call your sponsor. Take care of yourself.
Hugs,
Kate

Hey RC,
You don’t have to respond. I just want you to know that I’m thinking about you. Good luck on your flight and being around people. I hope the funeral is a lovely celebration of your friend’s life.
Please call your sponsor any time on your trip. I know you know that, but I had to say it. I’m around too if you want to chat.
Thinking of you.
Hugs and kisses,
Kate

SUBJECT: Hey
RC,
It’s been a couple days, and I’m torn over whether or not I should even be writing you. I don’t want to add anything to your plate, but I’m really starting to worry. This is the longest we’ve gone without talking in almost two years.
You don’t have to do anything. I know you are busy, but please take care of yourself.
Maybe just drop a line so I don’t worry?
Love,
Kate

SUBJECT: NOT freaking out
RC,
It’s been a week. I know I have a habit of catastrophizing. Rationally, I know you’re probably just grieving and have NOT been in a plane accident (also, I checked and there haven’t been any in the UK). I understand if you can’t write me back. I am still thinking of you. Every day.
