april 2nd, my mother was in an accident, hospitalized for over 7 months, then after returning home for 11 days was again hospitalized for pnuemonia and problems with her internal organs shutting down. We lost her recentley.
The problem is that my older sibling who is not a christian and has a bad problem with gambling, pills, and drinking, and has in the past many times tried to commit suicide, she also had power of attorney. Now that my mother has passed on we have to appoint a trustee. My older sibling is insisting she is already trustee and is causing much hurt. We found out that she had already taken a large percentage of my moms money while she had been ill. We asked for some of moms money to be able to bury her, yet my sibling said there was no money. I am weary about her being trustee, not for the money which is now gone, but that she wants to punish the man who caused the accident. Six of us siblings have forgiven him and prayed for him. We do not want him to suffer more than he has, and he has, for he knows the
accident was his fault. He feels so badly about it, and through this we have been able to wittness to him.
Do we fight for another sibling to be trustee, or give it to her. She has been very angry and bitter and likes to behave like a marter, thriving on the attention. Because of her past I and my other siblings have tried hard to get along with her. Now she is threatning to get an attorney. My Question,, as a christian, how should I handle this. All I wanted was to be able to afford to have my mother buried with a headstone. The area we live in has been hit hard and so many have been layed off from their jobs, my sibling's and their spouses are all layed off, which is why we asked about the money. I care not if we have any of it, it wasn't ours to begin with. I just wanted to be able to have no debts attatched to it. And do not want another to suffer because of my siblings anger and rage.
