I am currently on a holiday break from T. Last time I saw her was a week and a half ago and the next time I'll see her is in 2.5 weeks. T was at a conference the first week and the next few the office is closed. Several days ago my grandma had a severe brain bleed and had been in a coma ever since. A day ago, she finally passed away. Part of me feels that this is something T would want to know about or that I should tell her about, but at the same time, I've somewhat talked with some supportive people from work and don't feel the need to urgently talk with T about the situation, but rather inform her of it. Even though she's out of the office, she will probably check her email and if I did feel I needed to talk to her urgently, she might even call.

Has anyone ever informed T of a situation without needing to urgently talk about it? What about writing T an email describing what happened over the last several days and including the line, "I just wanted to let you know this has been going on, but I am alright, as much as I can be."
