Dear Abby: My brother and his family have been estranged from me for 30 years (by his ex-wife’s choice). He didn’t speak to our mother for 10 years after she came to live with me. Four years ago, I connected with his middle daughter, and we became close. She was the only member of that family who attended her grandmother’s funeral.
My niece was recently murdered by her husband, who then died by suicide. I wasn’t contacted by anyone about it. I have been agonizing over whether to attend the funeral (if I can find out when and where), and what to say if I do. What do you advise?
