10 Quiet Moments That Teach Us Kindness and Compassion Are Still the Most Powerful Force in the World

your mother died and so what? Move on please

So the lazy, callous brother still won.
He who dies with the most toys wins...

My grampa wanted to give me his death money a 20k life insurance policy I said no I want your love and spirit right now not your money and I 9 years later have no issues I lived my own life even tho I took care of him I don't use death money I use life money

This sounds exactly like what happened to a person I knew. I told her over and over that this was going to happen. He brother was a planned birth. She was not. This sounds terrible but it's true and the evidence of her not being the favorite was overwhelming. He got married had two children and the parents bought them a very nice home and a cars for both he and the wife. The Woman I was friends with had to fight tooth and nail to get everything she owned with very little help from the parents. She was hoping to get the inheritance but it never came. It's like to point out the parents were very Christian and often donated large sums of money to the church. Long story short, the church has been advising the parents to leave all the money to the son because he was still attending the same church while the sister had moved out of state to find her own path. Side note, the church is the lardest in Nebraska, the St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church. Our friendship ended because she got counseled and brainwashed by members of that church, over a 10 month period, and was forced to make a huge donation to the church leaving her broke. They convinced her that I was after the money and was planning on taking her to court. This happened 7 years ago and she is still scrapping by and still sending tithes to that church.

It's not about the money at all. The fact that it wasn't in vain, feeling appreciated. A trip costs less than a house anyways. Good on you!

I souly believe you just wanted the money. I get you may have been and that your brother was never there and just showed up randomly when she passed, but why would you be mad that he was Sole beneficiary? Especially since you added "I took my first solo trip with the money" as if the money was a big flex.

I feel like the inheritance was more important to you than your mother. I think deep down you're happy your mom is dead/ You got what you wanted...

It's Ironic seems the people that You know have a Firm moral compass This wasn't really a option if that's part of your character I Always hear Story's like This Everyone Expects Money because their parents Die If you Know Exactly where you stand with people And I'm sure this wasn't a total shock, ❤️ Regardless You Are a exceptional person and a wonderful Devoted Son Noone Could wish for any thing else I'm sure she was Really proud and Felt she did a good job as a mother And that Made her Happier than you will ever know God bless I hope your vacation was Excellent

You should have inherited everything but $1.00.

as i said, your mother was a BIG torture for you. Now enjoy your life, she is finally dead

Did your brother EVER notice? You gave everything - and gained so much more, though you'll see that when yoy go Hine + see yiur mom again.

I think what you did is absolutely amazing. I've made the decision to not let my children live to take care of me but also that I don't want to be alive to be taken care of. Children generally love their parents so much they would give their lives for them, most think they should. To me it isn't living for either party. You did what you feel is right and loved your mum obviously and she showed it didn't go unnoticed. Ignore the trolls here. You did a great thing for her. 💜🦋

You didn't say what your mother left you besides the note. Did she leave you any money? Was it more or equal to your brother's? I left your story with questions.... your mother should have taught you how to write a story. Sorry that was mean. But I mean well. I hope you find happiness knowing without your help your mother might have died sooner.

You wasted your years for nothing. Your mama should've to died sooner I think, so you could be free from her burden

I cried 😢 so happy for you, and wished my mom was like your mom

I’m happy your mom died. Really, she just ruined your life. You could have been happily married, but instead you had to take care of her. Such a pity

I am confused by the comments. She was not left with nothing. There was an account that her mother had built up over 11 years plus the letter. It clearly says that she took her first solo trip with the money!

All these people who drew upon only what was said here and immediately sided after only reading this one side should be ashamed. The woman has a right to feel bitter, but none of us know the details of the relationship between the mother and son behind the curtain. May the mother rest in peace, and may the brother and sister, both, prosper and experience personal growth

Both of my parents gave me there love, stood by me when I had open heart surgery back in 1974. I came from a family 4 children. 3 older brothers and myself the only girl. My parents gave there love devotion to The LORD. AND I MISS THEM DEARLY. OH! BY THE WAY MY FATHER WAS TOLD HE HAD CANCER BEFORE MY 16TH BIRTHDAY and he lived long enough to see me give birth to my daughter. While my husband was station in SOUTH KOREA BACK IN 1974.

It's so nice your mama died because she ruined you life!!

Well, she deserved to be left with something for her to live the rest of her days. Why should her brother get a pass? Her mother should have left her everything. Typical of most mothers to make the males feel entitled 🙄

Were you looking after your mum just to get a inheritance?I don't get these people that get angry when left nothing, you should look after a loved one without expecting anything back
