End of an era

I’m sitting here in bed this morning wondering if the sale of my mum’s house will complete today. I feel so sad.
DM died unexpectedly in 2022 and my stepdad went into a home. He has severe dementia. Their home was owned as TIC and she willed her share - 80% to me and my siblings. I am the executor of her will, and now am my SFs court appointed deputy, which has enabled me to sell the house. My siblings have pretty much left me to deal with everything.
The house went on the market last September, sold immediately and that fell through at the last minute because the buyer wanted me to accept £20K in actual cash! It went under offer once again in December and today is the day we are supposed to complete. So I’m anxious that it will actually complete, but I’m also really sad that it’s the end of everything to do with my mum. It’s brought all my sadness when she died back to the surface. I’ve had a few sleepless nights this past week, where my mind is racing with what if’s. I’m not usually so negative, but it’s hard to think positively at the moment. I just want to fall back to sleep and wake up once it’s all done and dusted.

I feel for you. It’s hard even when it’s expected and so much worse when not.
Families are weird around death and inheritance, do nothing but are first in line for the dosh ! There are still family members I don’t speak to and it’s been twenty years.
For the sadness give yourself as much time as you need. It affects everyone differently, sending a handhold and a hug.
