It Figures

I feel for you, my grandmother died recently house sold, etc. I still have not got one thing of hers. and I'm the one who took care of her and she passed in my home. I'm just glad I got to spend the quality time with her. I have wonderful memories and it still puts a smile on my face when I think of the fun times we shared. For the others well, I hope they enjoy her stuff!! I know what your feeling. My heart goes out to you!!

 

Herfrds, did your Grandmother leave a will, or tell anyone else that she wanted you to have the wardrobes? Things that are not permanently attached to a home are typically not considered part of a sale unless specifically written into the contract. For example, wired ceiling lights are included; things that plug into an outlet are not. Furniture is not typically included, but built-in bookcases or seating is.

If you have evidence that your Grandmother intended them for you, then you deserve to have them, and should be able to prove it in small claims court. That your husband is willing to build in closets for the purchaser is testament to your interest for the intrinsic not monetary value.

 

I so feel for you in not getting those wardrobes that meant so much. That's a hard pill to swallow.

I still can't even linger long on the thought of what happened to my mom's (and family's) things that she kept for us all when she died a few years ago. Gone. All of it. Everything. The things that meant the most...all the family photographs and albums (several generations worth), all the wall photographs, her drawings, the framed drawings from her kids and grandkids over her lifetime that were special to us all, my deceased dad's things, all of her important paperwork, deeds, insurances, bank and other financial records, her will...you name it...an entire household, all gone...literally tossed in the trash like rubish, "by accident".

I and others actually saw it happening but didn't realize what was going on. Who would think??...since we saw it when we all met up at my mom's house to drive to her funeral. She wasn't even buried yet and her stuff that was to be shared with all us kids was already in the trash.

My heart goes out to you.

 

know how you feel. Friends you can chose, family you hasve to live with. That's one reason that now a couple 1000 miles between my parents and me. But my mom payed me back, she is telling lies to my kids, so that they don't talk to me anymore...........

 

So sorry for what was done.It is too bad some things are not passed on to loved ones before a death.People seem to get wacky after a death wanting or selling EVERYTHING.

Contact the hoarder and offer to build closets in trade for the stuff you wanted.Explain what happened.If you are lucky they will go for the trade!

 

When hubs dad passed away it was a litteral nightmare. Between his step mom and her outragous accusations and his siblings its still continuing 4 years later.

I still cannot stand his step mom but to keep the peace and not give her a well deserved backhand to the mouth. She says the lord knows and I know deep down karma will get her

 

Quote:I agree implicitly that "friends are the family we make for ourselves." I don't agree that 'family you have to live with.' Negative, abrasive, lie telling people whose sole intent is to bring grief-- no one has to or should tolerate them. Family or not eliminate such people from your life. Life is too short. It should be filled with laughter, smiles, good memories, and good deeds. Been there/ done the 'family' deal.
