How to navigate family communication when grief affects everyone differently

Our family group chat has become this weird space where my mom sends constant updates about her health issues and my brother never responds and my sister responds with just heart emojis, and I'm the one who always writes back with actual words. None of us have talked about what we actually need from each other during this time when Mom is clearly scared and we're all processing Dad's death differently.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family is trying to stay connected through loss, but their different ways of showing care are creating distance instead of closeness.
