Every once in a while someone asks me a question and I either direct them to a prior post or write about my personal experience on the topic.<br /><br />If you have a specific topic you are curious about, I would be happy to assist with a prior post or to write on the topic. <br /><br />Also, I used to belong to a yahoo group on sibling estrangement; however, the group has been inactive for years. Possibly there are other sibling resources online?<br /><br />I do know that support and validation are key to healing. Family estrangement is a very painful, unnatural, and isolating experience. Finding others to help pave the way is essential. <br /><br />All my best, <br />Nancy<br /><br />AbuseAndForgivenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738069361076986611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557084346768128841.post-5360824258961998622017-04-18T06:25:45.197-07:002017-04-18T06:25:45.197-07:00Hi Nancy,

I'm wondering if you're still writing as there's not a lot out there on this topic yet I bet there are many people who experience the confusion and loss of estrangement from siblings.<br /><br />~MeganAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853454260202895313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557084346768128841.post-3944239916246116932014-09-29T21:14:21.795-07:002014-09-29T21:14:21.795-07:00Dear Susan,
I’m sorry for your pain. What a hor...Dear Susan, <br /><br />I’m sorry for your pain. What a horrible tragedy for your nephew and your family! Estrangement is difficult enough; however, coupled with tragedy it can seem unbearable.<br /><br />In my opinion you sent just the right response. Sometimes less is more. Just letting them know you are thinking of them is just right. <br /><br />Reconciliation is a complicated landscape to navigate even under the best of situations. Your sister will most likely need all her emotional energy just to cope with this tragedy before she has the emotional reserves to consider reaching back to you.<br /><br />Hopefully, she will see your simple and pure gesture in the spirit in which it was given. <br /><br />Keep them in your prayers. And get the support you need to navigate your emotions during this difficult time. <br /><br />I will keep you and your family in my prayers. <br /><br />All my best, <br />Nancy<br />AbuseAndForgivenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738069361076986611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557084346768128841.post-46486081533133068622014-09-29T19:36:01.355-07:002014-09-29T19:36:01.355-07:00I posted this sme comment on Fiona's estrangem...I posted this sme comment on Fiona's estrangement blog.<br />just want feedback and thoughts please- <br />Hi. I am writing all the way from NC. My heart aches. I have been estranged from family for years. I just found out that my nephew was hit by car this am and is in critical condition.. I didnt know what to do so all I could eek out was a “sending prayers’ on Facebook. I havent seen my sister, nephew and family in 7 0r 8 years. I live in the same town. I have a mixture of grief and confusion and maybe some guilt and shame.
