I think it was the easiest for THEM, to do it that way. It was also disrespectful and mean of them to do that, without even telling you. I'm sure you would have had a very different idea. Family members can cause great pain sometimes. :(

I'm ashamed for them and very sad for you and the memory of your sister. This is a disrespectful and lazy action on their part. It's worse than having a yard sale; they don't find any value in their mother's possessions worth salvaging or donating properly. What can you do? Ask them if you can have the Salvation Army bring a truck to pick up the possessions. Make sure personal items are removed.
Again, I'm so sorry; family is a funny thing; my parents' stuff is packed into their garage and no one knows what is going to happen to it at this point.

That was inconsiderate and selfish of them, they didn't stop to think how you would feel. The younger generations are not the same ,they only think of themselves (well most of them anyway). It must be very difficult for you at the moment Julie, but it will get better, just keep thinking of the good times you spent with your sister.

I know that pain Julie.When my parents died I got zippo!
I was offered all the stuff everybody else didn't want.
My father had a shed full of good tools.My brother in law kept them locked up for 28 years until they were all ruined with rust.Then he had the nerve to ask me if I would take it all to the tip in my truck.I can't print my reply to him here.
When mum went she had nothing but a few sentimental keepsakes.My sisters scooped them all up before anyone else got the chance.I don't even have a photograph of my parents.
Families huh!
My kids have been raised differently I can tell you that.

Families can be really hateful and selfish. I'm sure I can figure out quite a bit of what you told that POS brother-in-law...

When my mom died, my bro and I had an argument. I should say he had an argument. When I told an older lady friend about it, she said, Everytime someone dies, that's when the fighting starts ( among the family members )
I'm sorry, Julie. I know it's going to be a big adjustment all the way around.

Julie, can we write off some of it as them being young and naive? Still no excuse for bad manners, but at least somewhat of an explanation. I cannot think that they gave any thought, and that they did not think of how it would represent, and hurt you. Take care.
