Forwarded an article to someone about a new, experimental, treatment for the kind of cancer their mother has.
To be informed that their mother had already died from it more than a year ago.
In my defense, nobody told me, but I still feel bad about poking at that grief.
Hearing about a, possibly, effective treatment for the cancer that got MY mom after she died would not have consoled me in the slightest.
Timing can be terrible, especially when you are out of the loop. Hopefully they realize that you didn't know and meant well. Once someone is gone there really isn't any consoling. There is only grieving and coping. But I still always hope that someday, someone won't have to deal with these things, at least not as soon.
