Inheritance isn’t a right and should never be expected. A bequest is a nice surprise, but not something you should rely on, and doesn’t necessarily reflect how someone felt about you.

I’m sorry for your loss Flowers

I’m sorry for your loss but you are not automatically entitled to any money when someone dies.
its a gift!
feeling sorry for yourself will not change that

Yes I get it. My dad is well off and it came out at Christmas step mum intends to give her childless daughter her inheritance early to enable her to buy a 500k house. I have two kids in a two bed worth about 200k. I would never dream of asking and know it would be shot down by step mum anyway. My dad already has signs of dementia and just know he’ll end up in a care home. I know it’s not my money and I shouldn’t feel I have a claim but he is the one who extremely hard away all my childhood (cost him his marriage to my mum) and my brothers and I are a second thought. You have every right to be pissed off. It’s seems to pay to be grabby and entitled.
