..I really do feel for her and for you as well but I honestly don't know how this can be solved easily without trying to mend bridges with your siblings first but it would take for everyone to want and make that happen and if they won't then she may have to accept that, as hard as it is...maybe in the meantime, when she sends them gifts..?...and they send her cards etc..?..they could write to each other, she could tell them a bit about her life, let them get to know her/who she is and maybe they would write to her about things they've done and things they're looking forward to..?..
