She Has Cancer, And While Making Up Her Will, She Stipulated That She Wanted To Be Buried In Earrings Given To Her By Her Grandmother, But Her Sister Snooped, Found The Will, And Wants The Earrings Instead
When this thirty-year-old woman was a little girl, her grandmother gave her a pair of handmade gold earrings.
The jewelry was not an heirloom but just a sentimental gift her grandma intended for only her to wear.
And after her grandmother, unfortunately, passed away when she was just twelve years old, it was really hard on her.
But, the earrings helped her still feel close to her grandma, and she continues to wear the jewelry to this very day.
More recently, though, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Thankfully, the disease was caught early, and she is currently undergoing treatment. So, she is not too worried and has remained optimistic about her recovery.
At the same time, though, she wants to play it safe in the event that anything does happen to her. After all, she has a family– a husband, who is thirty, and a daughter, who is just five years old.
So, she decided to update her will and opted to divide her money in three non-equal ways between her husband, her daughter, and her sister.
She left her daughter 1.3 million dollars, but her daughter will not be able to access the money until she is older. That way, her daughter can live a normal life.
Her sister, on the other hand, was left twenty thousand dollars in the event she passed away. And her husband would be left money, too, although she did not disclose how much.

However, she did note that her husband currently makes about two hundred thousand dollars a year– so she is not concerned about him making ends meet if she passes.
Unfortunately, though, her entire will-creation process became a lot more complicated after her sister apparently went snooping in her office and found her will. Her sister’s largest issue was not the amount of money she was getting, though.
Instead, it was the fact that she stipulated in her will how she wanted to be buried wearing her grandmother’s earrings– because, apparently, her sister thinks that is a selfish thing to do.
“My sister said that she should get the earrings after I die to be close to me,” she revealed.
In all honesty, though, she just does not want to give up the jewelry. First of all, the earrings were given specifically to her.
They were not meant to be passed down to anyone else in the family.
On top of that, the earrings simply hold a lot of sentimental value. In fact, she even got her ears pierced again just so she could always wear them without having to swap them out for other earrings.
So, in the end, she told her sister that the jewelry was hers and that she would not be giving the earrings up.
If you could not have guessed it, though, her sister did not like that answer and actually just went running to their mother to complain.
Then, her mother came down on her hard and claimed that she should give the earrings to her sister while she was still alive since her sister was already scared and did not need any additional stress.
Quite frankly, though, she just wants to be buried in the earrings, period. And honestly, all of the drama that her sister caused has pushed her to consider removing her sister from the will altogether.
But, at the same time, she cannot help but wonder if her mother is right and if giving her sister the earrings would be the right thing to do.
So, she has been left wondering if choosing to be buried in the earrings instead of passing them along to her sister would actually make her a real jerk.
Why do you think her sister went snooping in her office in the first place? Do you think it is understandable why she would want to be buried with her grandmother’s earrings? What is more important right now– her comfort or her sister’s right now? If you were in her shoes, how would you handle this situation?
