It's called compassion.

I have Parkinson's Disease. Someone may say that they are sorry that at thirty nine I was diagnosed with it, and that my life changed forever, and robbed me of the only natural talent I had. Their sorrow doesn't make the disease any easier to live with, but their concern touches my heart, and thus makes me feel a little better.

Showing concern, isn't showing pity, but of course this is going to affect Mel's family, and they are probably worried about the future, not to say that the future isn't going to be bright.
