Sorry youmare going through that- we had a similar thing happen in our auto family-

i D9nt know if it would help, but we had an aunt who had a falling out with her children, and her sister, my mom, after many years of the children having nothing to do with her sister, our aunt, called the children try8ng to be a peacemaker, and explained that if their mother should die before they at least made peace with her, it would hurt them the rest of their lives. It took a few discussions, but they eventually agreed, and took the first step to recovering a relationship with her.

She died a few years later, but the few years she had at the end were made much better because my mom took the hard initiative to reach out to,the kids- she didn’t know how,they wouod,take it, whether they would come to hate her too, but fortunately they listened, and were later grateful to her for doing so.

Is there perhaps someone you can have intervein in your behalf that they might listen to to explain how,life is too,short to die with bad feelings towards others?

Thank you so much for sharing that and for your kind words. My daughter refuses to discuss our falling out with anyone that knows me. Thanks again.
