Bereavement

I expect she is. I distanced myself from her a long time ago. I have boundaries I guard. I talk to her, but I don't share with her, just can't do it. I am just going to take a break from her. This isn't a good time to have it out with her, and I wouldn't feel right anyway.

I appreciate that you posted to me. Losing friends and relatives is hard to get through too. They are milestones we don't want to pass. We grew up with my parents and grandmother, a great aunt, and 3 brothers, my sister and me. She and I are the only ones left. I wouldn't leave her entirely, just because of our losses, but our relationship (arm's length) was fine.
