[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't invite her to the baby shower. But maybe do reach out. Not by text. Maybe phone. Maybe in person.[/quote]

We live 3k miles apart. But, I could phone. 
I know mom means well but coercion never works. I haven't seen dying sister in 4/5 years. Middle sister probably hasn't seen her in 10 years. 
She must be closer to death than we know and mom is trying to tell us this is our last chance? 
However, we're adults and can decide things for ourselves. [/quote]

Yes, you're an adult and can decide for yourself. Now take mom out of the picture, and imagine how you'll feel after your sister's death. Would you like to connect, if even briefly. It doesn't mean you forgive or forget. You just connect. Maybe comfort? But she may not ask that if you.[/quote]

I think it’s impossible to know how one would feel when a sibling dies. I’m trying to be respectful and honor  the boundary she set w me. [/quote]

I’m skeptical. You don’t sound respectful to your sister at all.  [/quote]

So I should just blow through the boundary she set of asking us not to contact her? [/quote]
