Why can’t I get over it?
They’re dead, the rest are gone. Nobody wants us.
It’s been years, why can’t I simply accept it.
Hope is not applicable.

I rejected some toxic family. I still find folks to make friends and help. For me, a real friend only comes along about 1 or 2 times a decade at best. Usually, they are acquaintances or work colleagues. My sibs could not ever understand the depth and "no matter what be there for each other" thing. It was odd as my mother had demo'd that frequently.
I am lucky to have married a similar soul. We have had issues, but the big stuff we agreed upon. My parents did not. People are curious. I was wrong in every single prediction about my sibs, for the most part.
I saw the passion-compassion drain from them as they weathered society. Intellectually, they talk of things they seldom seem to feel or express from the heart. Maybe it is just family baggage that interacts with perception and expression.
