So I’m (28) incredibly worried about my friend (55). She had a pulmonary embolism a month ago, so I’m terrified something happened to her. She lives in another state and we talk every day, if she doesn’t answer the phone she sends a text and apologizes, then calls me back as soon as she can. So the fact that I haven’t heard from her since Tuesday is incredibly abnormal. We talked on the phone Monday, and I noticed that she hasn’t been online at work since Wednesday, I’ve called her every day and she hasn’t answered or responded since Tuesday, and today her phone is going straight to voicemail.
I know her address, I know her daughter’s name, and I know her brother lives close by to her but I can’t find contact info for her daughter or her brother anywhere, I just want to make sure she’s ok.
Do I call the non emergency number? Do I keep trying to search for her family’s contact info? What do I do? I’m scared something happened to her.

Do you know any of her other friends at all?
I would
Call the non emergency number and ask for a wellness check. 100%
Yes I would call the police for a wellness check.
This is exactly the scenario wellness checks are designed for. Hopefully she’s fine so can give you her contact numbers for her family members.
Yes. Trust your gut.
Absolutely yes do it

Wellness check time. Do it. Now.
One of my best friends had a stroke about a month ago and would have died in his house had someone not cared enough to do a wellness check.
It is okay to call 911 for a wellness check, especially if she lives in a suburban or rural area.
Call the local hospital to see if she is listed as a patient, some people ask not to be listed so keep that in mind.
I hope she is okay.
Text her saying youre concerned that youve been unable to reach her and if she’s ok she should call and say that before the night is over. Otherwise you will call for a wellness check.
That way she knows what youre thinking and has a way to stop it, if she can/wants to.
Has her supervisor heard from her more recently? Usually if a person is missing a day or two of work, they know why.
Call for a wellness check. ASAP
Were you able to get through?
I had an ex call me for a wellness check as a form of harassment and honestly it wasn’t bad at all. Surprisingly the cops were nice and just asked if I was okay. I scared the shit out of me.
Your a good friend. I hope she is ok
I called, I gave them her address, and her relatives names. They’re handling it.
I would call and have her checked
And when you do connect with her, have her register with snugsafe.com Free for once a day automated check-in at a time she picks. $17 a month for up to 3 check-ins a day.
I would if she was my friend
I’m 51, on disability and live in the country alone with my dog. I wouldn’t be mad at anyone who cared enough to do that given the circumstances.
Please call.

Praying she is ok! You did the right thing calling for a wellness check.
Can you just go round there and knock on the door?
Does she have any social media? I bet we could find someone in her family pretty quick online.

You are a good friend. I’m happy you called for check. I hope all is well.
I’m hoping in the frenzy of recovery she forgot to pay her cell phone bill… let us know…
Any update?
I hope she’s okay. Please update us
I had this happen to me last year. I had a neighbor, 75f, whom I saw every day. I hadn’t seen her in a couple of days and got very concerned. I texted and called with no response. I called for a wellness check. When the police opened the door, she was in the floor. She had a severe UTI and her blood sugar was extremely high. She had been in the floor for two days. 😔 The hospital said that she wouldn’t have made it much longer. You did the right thing by calling. I hope your friend is ok.

My block smell so bad because
Our neighbor just died and he was in there for 3 days.
They kept asking if he was of black or white decent.
And it’s true you’ll never forget that smell
I feel so bad.

Please do it now. It is Sunday.
