my friend's mom had a heart attack, and we all knew before she did. her family just didn't want to tell her yet.

One of our teachers did the same to my best friend, needless to say she was surprised.

That's sad but OP definitely not your fault. You were trying to be a supportive friend. I'm sure that when your friend heals a little bit emotionally, they will see that your heart was in the right place.

honestly, how did you find out before him? he must be a really sheltered kid, probably best that you showed him that life has its tragedies the hard way.
