 Boy it sounds like I wrote your post.  My sister and I are still close but by three brothers don't hardly hear from them now that my folks are gone.  I had to pull teeth to get 2 out of 3 here for my sister's 60th birthday.   My sister and I have always been there for the guys during their crisis and needs but unless we initiate the communication we don't hear anything.   I have told my sister that should I pass away before her -- I am younger -- that she is NOT to notify my brothers of my death as if they cannot come and see me when I am alive no need to come to my funeral.  Also if after my demise, if they happen to ask about me just say, "Oh didn't I tell you she passed away months/years ago."  But that is how I feel now.   Could change who knows.  And there was no fight, no nothing.  Just this drifting away.    Patti
