Your an amazing person ,what you did for your nephew, speaks volumes about you!

I'm very sad for your loss ,seems like he really loved you ! Possibly, she was upset that he asked for your number ? That's not on you , That's on her !

For her to speak unkinly about you and then your son....shame on her !

IMHO, sounds like she is very insecure and maybe feels jealous?

I commend you for what you did ,you put your differences aside and focused on your nephew ! I'm sure he felt your presence, by his side .

She should consider herself lucky to have a wonderful sister like you 💕

It's her loss ,seems like your better off without her in your life.

You know Karma is a "B" ! I'm sure you'll hear from her someday. That for me personally, would be a difficult decision to make.
I wish you ,peace of mind....and my prayers for you and your family ❤️

@Sassycoco   -  Thank you for your kind words.  All I did (and will continue to do) is love my nephew.  And, it was an easy job.  He was my very first nephew.  His heart was huge.  He was kind, smart, artistic, funny.  Good grief was he funny.  He was just seven years younger than me.  Although he was 40 when he died, he insisted on call me "Aunt Jenny".  I even told him he didn't have to.  He had more white hair than I did.    

I don't know exactly what is wrong with my sister.  I am not a doctor but I am certain she was/is mentally ill.  I will not allow the harm she tried to cause me and my son to lessen my love for my nephew, his daughter, and her mom.  My sister would hate that.      

He died five years ago this passed Tuesday.  Five years ago today with organ donation he became a super hero.  He was able to help five men.  The year he died he was the most successful donor that the organization had. 

Five years ago today my phone rang about every 20 minutes for about seven hours.  Everyone asked for "Robbie's Aunt Jenny".  They would tell me of the Robbie they knew and then they would tell me how much he loved, respected, and cared for me.  It was a difficult day.  I would have given anything to not have heard those things about me.  I would still give anything not to know if it would mean my nephew could have survived.

Yes, an old boyfriend ghosted me and it was very traumatic for me. I never understood why, guess he just wasn't that into me. It still kinda hurts even after many many years.

I felt so overwhelmed with emotions, your post ,felt all too real for me ! I unfortunately know very well ,what loving someone with an addiction can be like ....

As ,I read your loving words about " Robbie" He sounds like a great person ! I know there's a 7 year age difference. In my opinion, I believe he loved you like a "mom".

I can hear the sadness in your words. Which is heartbreaking!

I believe "Robbie's " legacy should be how much he loved ,cared about people and most of all he gave 5 men a second chance! He truly is a Super Hero !

He will forever be in your heart ❤️

I pray for you , I hope you have peace in your heart, knowing you were lovingly by his side. ❤️

I have been ghosted, by 4 formerly close friends, after my husband died. It still hurts.

I have never ghosted anyone.

This happened to me also. I do not ghost people.

ETA, If they ghost me and then want to re-establish the relationship, that will not happen.

Does giving a pesky guy the phone number to Dial-a-Prayer instead of my home number count as ghosting?

I would consider that self preservation and being wise😁
