I understand how you feel but just think for a moment if one of your brothers didn't tell you about a sister of yours if she was sick. I know your concerned about your mom's health but you need to tell her so she can see her, it would be worse if something happened to your Aunt and your mom never had the chance to see her, then your mom would never forgive you for that. It really is best to tell her right away, it is her sister and she has a right to know. We tend to get over protective with our parents when they are old and/or sick but I am sure your mom will be ok and she will feel happy to be there for your Aunt.

Hope your aunt gets better soon.. I think you have to tell your mom ASAP because she's going to feel so sad knowing that you've been hiding such an important thing about her sister from her... Sisters need each others and I think your aunt will feel better knowing her sister is there for her and that she is praying for her... It is really important to feel your family is there for you when you are sick or not feeling well... God bless you and your family :)

you must take her to her sister in the hospital and say that you go to your freind and when she will see that her sister is good she will be calm

PLEASE don't do what the first person suggested. How horrible that would be!! I know it's hard, I had to tell my mom about my uncle and I tried to wait until my sister arrived to be there too, but someone beat me to the punch and called her on the phone. She has to know, though. It's her sister. Just be as gentle as you can. Please keep us updated.

i agree with you... some relatives are so intelligent (they think they are) and just calls up just to break a news as very important as that. i warned already the sons of my aunt not to call up my mom, let us (her daughters) be the one to tell her. i'll keep you updated. thanks for the response
