Context: Admin of small friends server announced earlier today his mom was in the hospital and may be in trouble. Comes back later with this announcement.
Multiple people have told me they may have made the same mistake, including two server members who said they thought he meant that too. But god I'm incredibly embarrassed.
I wouldn't have used "on her way out" as a term for dying or not doing well. I mean that's how i refer to like a piece of tech dying not a person. Also I've never used that crying emoji to express any serious sadness nor seen it used like that.
I'd say it was worded weirdly but my method is to wait for other people to reply before making mine if I'm not 100% sure.
