Dear Queenie,
A member of our family asked us not to have any more contact with her. Both of her parents have passed away and we are the only family she has left.
Queenie, what should we do?—Worried relatives
Dear Relatives,
Assuming this relative is not under pressure from an abusive boyfriend or husband who wants to isolate her, you should do as she asks. However, be sure to tell her that you care about her and that you will be there for her if/when she ever wants to get in touch again.
