[quote=Anonymous]The key is to move the conversation along. Them: Hey, how's Drew? You: Um, actually he passed away last fall. I'm still processing and not ready to talk about it. Did you decide on which camps you're signing Chloe and Zoe up for this summer? Their response should now be: Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. If you ever want to talk I'm here for you. Chloe's going to clown camp and Zoe's taking underwater basketweaving. What do you have Farah and Sarah doing? If their response stops on your sibling's death, just again repeat "I'm not ready to talk about it," and repeat your changing-the-subject question. If they don't respect THAT, just walk away or hang up or whatever. You don't owe answers. [/quote]
