It depends. What has happened among you and your family members so that they don't want you to know about your loved one's hospitalization?

If you don't know, ask.

If you do know, make amends.

If all attempts to make amends have failed, consider seeking family mediation. Most locales offer free or low-cost mediation services through a Community Board or similar group.
