I WANT HER AT MY WEDDING

I’m engaged to be married next year.

My sister and I haven’t spoken for four years due to a family fallout. We used to be very close but she doesn’t even know I’m engaged as our parents were killed two years ago in a car accident, and they were all that connected us.

But now that I’m about to get married the thought of doing it without my sister is making me very sad.

I’d love to have her share my special day with me. She doesn’t even know my fiancé.

I’m thinking of getting in touch with her before the wedding and trying to reconcile, but I’m afraid of being rejected.

What should I do? Maryna, email Life is too short to hold grudges and you and your sister have already wasted four years. No matter what caused the rift, it’s done now and can’t be changed. We all make mistakes, but luckily we have the power to learn from them and make better choices.

All you need to do is reach out that olive branch. Hopefully your sister will be only too glad to grab it. You’ll never know if you don’t try.

It’s important to learn to let go of past injustices, grudges and anger because if we don’t learn to do this we’ll struggle to move forward.

Negative emotions harboured in the soul can make you feel stuck emotionally. To be free, you have to let go of the past and live for today.

So pick up the phone and make that call. If your sister isn’t willing to forgive and forget it’ll be her loss, not yours.
