We asked readers to channel their inner Carolyn Hax and answer this question. Some of the best responses are below.

Dear Carolyn: This isn’t a pity party, just a conundrum. I am the last member of my family. Parents deceased. Brother deceased 50 years ago. I have no children. An ex-wife who, while we are civil, is an ex-wife. One cousin, 2,500 miles away and even more distant than the miles.
