Discompassionate direct report

A team member that reports to someone i manage is going to be jobless because we can't sponsor a working visa anymore.

I gave my direct report a lot of advice on how to handle it. She seemed to understand then copied me in on an email to the team member that simply said "see email below from HR"

I feel like it was a utter waste of my time givving her support (she asked) and she has been heartless, lazy and utterly unfeeling....

She is also resident in my country under a visa and it's taking a lot of restraint to not point out how unpleasant she would find this situation and would expect a lot more support from me then she is trying to give.

Technically she has done the minium... not actually a violation... I'm going to get some advice but also wanted to get some wider views from here....

Do I tell her how her actions look from my point of view? Or just keep my thoughts on different approaches to myself?
