CoSo.. imagine calling a sibling to wish them happy birthday. They live clear across the USA...only to find that sibling passed away two weeks earlier.
Everyone knew there was a rift in the family. Some were hopeful of a reunion. Now it's too late.
I have siblings that have cut me off, refuse to speak to me.. I have attempted to reach out numerous times only to be met with a brick wall.
Guess I'm getting a glimpse of what might be my future.
@MrsE0113 not to diminish your thoughts here, I have had to apply a sort of ethic to remove myself from toxic family, the point of what I'm saying is, is that if it's meant for you, then it is, if it isn't, then it's not. Your future is not predetermined, and shame on them for not accepting your overtones of family and spirit.
