Navigating Relationships Amid Terminal Illness

Dear Say More,

I am a single woman who has been managing a terminal cancer diagnosis for nearly three years. In interactions with my sister, our relationship has always been distant. I observed that she never inquired about my well-being or showed concern for my adult son.

This lack of communication leaves me puzzled. Despite my ongoing treatment and battles, her silence feels overwhelming. We have a complicated history, which might explain some of her behavior. However, the absence of any empathy from her still stings.

As I navigate these challenging times, I wonder how to approach this lack of connection with my sister. Her indifference seems to add emotional weight to the physical struggles I already endure.
