Oh my…

Your family is mourning the loss of your mom. It’s a shame that your family is at odds over her belongings.

This is an emotional time for all of you. I am at a loss for words as to what to do in this situation.

I certainly hope that you will be able to settle this situation.

Am I correct in assuming that your mom didn’t leave anything in writing for you and your siblings?

I hardly have anything of my mother’s. She lost her home and all of her possessions in hurricane Katrina. Her love is what matters most to me. That is what I will carry in my heart always.

Perhaps other posters will have viable ideas for you.

I am very sorry for your loss. Wishing you peace as you continue to grieve during this difficult time.

I’m sorry for the loss of your mother. Did she leave a will with an executor responsible for distributing her belongings in the way she wished? If not, her wishes are nearly impossible to prove and unless you and all your siblings can come to some agreement, it’s unlikely that you’ll ever have items returned to you as you desire. Wills matter, and so many people never do them. I’m sorry for your hurt in this
