Hmmm...

Well, you've always got us to talk about how you really feel. Just as you can tell her how you really feel about us. (grin)

At a guess, she probably feels bad enough as it is. She's the one who suggested this, and I'm sure she didn't cancel it lightly.

I think I'd go with you're sorry that her husband is sick (which you are) and that you understand that she needs to be with him (which you do) and that you can talk about rescheduling when things are more settled (which is also completely true).

That has the benefit of preserving a relationship that you treasure, and having the joy of giving a kindness to someone you care about, and not least - showing yourself that you're a much bigger person than you thought you were.

And you've still got us. You can tell us all the things that are equally true, but that you chose not to share with her at this time.
