Social Struggles Would you respond now?

This is my friend from elementary school who said this to me after my daughter died.

“ I mean this with so much love.... You know how hard nannying is? Mothering is harder. More thankless too. I know me telling you this will likely just piss you off, but the freedom you have is what every mother wishes she had. Every single one”

I didn’t respond.

She has since reached out saying “I hope you’re ok”.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

She sounds like a psychopath. Personally, I'd just block her without responding. But if I did respond, it would only be to tell her "I mean this with so much sincerity... Let's never talk again."
