Hey,

Since my mum passed away just over a month ago, my dad and sister have been "distance" and wont talk to me much anymore! My sister (who is 19 - 4 years and a half older than me) won't even look at me anymore.

Well when some people in the family pass away some people find it hard to look at the daughter because of sometimes the daughter looks like the mum mayb thats whats going on here but in this case you need to sit them down and have a word with them because its not goin to do you any good if you dont have a word with them because they will carry on the way they are being try and find out the reasons why they wont talk to you or look at you.

People take time to grief and/or mourn. They do it in their own way. So don't think of this as your fault, because surely it's not.

Your dad and your sister will come around sooner or later. Try to talk to both your dad and your sister and tell them how you feel. Try to find out what's going on in their heads.

Good luck with that.

i agree talkings the best option , people deal and cope with problems in different ways, theirs might be to close up and hide all their feelings, it'll pass eventually but the best thing to do is try and make conversation and confide in your sister (probably easier for you to talk to her than your dad) about your feelings

Maybe they're too hurt. People who lose somebody dear to them usually are distant and are are not the same until a long time. Talk to them to get through this process more quickly.
