To be very angry over this jewellery that was my grandmothers

[Millionsofmiles]

My grandfather passed away a few years ago. He had a piece of jewellery he always wore. It was kept by DM and her DS as had sentimental value as he always wore it. It was then passed on to DB

DGM had a similar item that she always wore. She passed away recently and less than a month later it turns out this was sold.
I'm fuming. I loved her so much and it had great sentimental value.
I asked DM why one item was kept and the other not? She answered "I didn't love my mum. I liked my dad best"

She was a lovely grandmother and she loved that necklace. I'm really sad about it and tbh I think what DM said was disgusting

I would be sad about that too. They could have at least given you first refusal if they were set on selling it.

My nana (died before I was born) left all of her jewellery to the oldest DD who, as the story goes, promptly sold it all and started a business with the proceeds. A shame for her other 6 sisters who also loved their mother very much.

Well, sad and painful as it is for you imillionofmiles it was unfortunately your DMs jewellery to do with as she saw fit. Unless your GM left it to you in her will. I am sorry for your loss and that you feel so angry.

I have however seen a situation where a GP was vile to her own child and wonderful to her grandchildren. So perhaps that was the situation with your Mum and her Mother.
My DMs sister used to be really abusive to her daughter, my cousin. She beat her black and blue and used her as a drudge. However she was wonderfully kind to her grandchildren. They don't realise how horrible she was.

I talked about it with my DM. She found it astonishing as well.
Life can be so unfair sometimes. Perhaps you can find out where it has gone and buy it back ?

It just made me sad, she wore it every day as far back as I remember. What DM said too seemed very harsh

I would have expected that she would have asked other family members (such as you) if you wanted it first.
Otherwise it was up to her to do as she wanted.
And if the item was worth quite a bit of money, I can see why she would have gone that way.

The reality is that your mum doesn't have to live her own mum or be close to her. That sort if things usually comes comes very clearly when the person dies.

I don't think it was worth much at all so don't think that it was done for financial reasons and after her comment definitely not
