My mom passed 21 n years ago last week and her wishes were discussed with only one of us..it wasn’t me and I’m the oldest so my other sisters and I were taken back when we were not given any mementos, photos..nothing. After all this time, there’s been no conversation with this sister as she has shut us out. But..we are alive and well and much better off with our memories and not having her in our lives. I hope things work out better for you and I would say, get professional help, especially if you have anything in writing. Sorry for your loss..no time is a better time to experience such grief 🌺
