[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to arm yourself with a few firm lines to make it really clear you don't want to discuss it anymore. Your sister sounds a bit selfish, and also like she is NOT picking up on normal social cues. When she brings it up say "Mary, thank you for your support about our miscarriage in October. But can I ask you a favor? Please stop bringing it up. DH and I have mourned, and still are, in our own ways. And I've found that when you bring it up out of the blue, it makes me uncomfortable. If I want to discuss it, I will mention it. Otherwise, can we please work on putting it behind us? Thanks". Then firmly any time she brings it up "Mary, remember? I don't want to discuss it.". And then "Mary, please stop" followed by hanging up the phone, leaving the room, etc. to make your point. Be firm, be kind. She sounds well meaning, but a bit clueless.[/quote] This is good advice.
