Answered wrong phone call

I had an hour long conversation with a grieving widow thinking she was my friend, but she thought I was her daughter.

What I wish I knew
"To identify the wrong number before engaging in conversation"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious when answering unknown phone calls, especially during emotional times"
