Starting A Late Relationship With Daughter Of My Deceased Sister

[westerndog]

How can I start a relationship with my niece after the death of my sister several years ago

[waterboatman]

Define Relationship please.

[1ozzy]

Contact your niece and say hello.
Ask how she has been, show interest in her life.

[Jennykenny]

Just write a note, saying how sorry you are that you haven’t been able to get in touch up to now. And would she like to meet you for coffee, lunch one day?

[waterboatman]

I wish you well with your endeavours. I hope you make contact with her and a happy relationship results.

[NoMercy]

Just initiate a conversation and explain that you are sorry you haven't been much of an avuncular figure hitherto, but you'd like it if you could get to know each other better. Share some warm memories you have of your sister / her mother.

Best of luck.

Every night, a newbie comes on asking the most inappropriate questions!!

[bednobs]

or someone comes along reading inappropriateness where none is

Sharon to be fair to the OP, in response to WBM's question, they replied elsewhere.

//Idk how to respond to ur comment on my question, but aunt and niece relationship is my response, how else wud it be defined //

Is it wrong that alarm bells went off when I read this...?

[Cloverjo]

The same alarm bells went off with me, pasta.

[pastafreak]

Bednobs...for me it was the wording of the question.

[Mamyalynne]

I wouldn't like to say anyone is wrong, minds can leap off at a tangent which is why asking for clarification was the best first answer.

[ummmm]

Between aunt and niece?

[-SharonA-]

Agree with alarm bells.
