She Won’t Give The Jewelry She Inherited From Her Grandmother To Her Sister Because She Feels Like Her Sister Was Never Actually There For Their Grandma Anyway
This 18-year-old girl’s grandma sadly passed away, and not long ago, she received the jewelry her grandma left her to her in her will.
For years, her grandma expressed how meaningful this jewelry was because it had been passed down for generations. It was first owned by her grandma’s great-grandma, then by her grandma’s mother, and then it was passed down to her grandma.
“She would have passed it down to her daughter, but my aunt passed away a few years ago, so it was now being passed down to me,” she said.
However, her older sister was furious that she wasn’t the one to whom their grandmother passed down the jewelry. Her sister assumed she would be receiving the jewelry since she had been their grandma’s first granddaughter.
“My sister hadn’t seen or spoken to my grandmother in YEARS. Whenever my grandmother would try to get her to visit, she would always make an excuse,” she explained.
When their grandma was at the end stages of her life, her sister didn’t come to the hospital to say goodbye and see their grandma for the last time. Yet her sister acts as if she should be owed the jewelry since she’s the older granddaughter.
On the other hand, over the years, she set aside time to get together with her grandma and call her to catch up. Her sister never stayed in contact with their grandma because she didn’t think she needed to prioritize the relationship with her.
“She always had more ‘important’ things to do, even when she found out our grandmother didn’t have much time left,” she shared.
Unfortunately, their parents have taken her sister’s side and asked her to allow her sister to have their grandmother’s jewelry.

She rejected their request, pointing out that if their grandmother hoped for her sister to have the jewelry, she would have indicated this in the will. However, her name was listed as the person she wanted to inherit the jewelry.
In her view, her sister has been incredibly immature, name-calling her just because she won’t give in to her demand to hand over their grandma’s jewelry. The rest of their family told her she was not being fair, even calling her a jerk.
Luckily, she lives with her boyfriend, so she doesn’t have to worry about her sister or any other family members taking the jewelry without her knowing.
What advice would you give her?
