Reached rock bottom following mum's death

Mum died last year. It's been a struggle. Her house needs to be sold asap to pay various bills/tax etc. My sibling hasn't made things easy. We eventually agreed to put the house on the market, but sibling insisted on the price. This was too high and so we've had to drop the price. It's still not selling and I can't bare the thought of arguing with her again if the price has to come down again. I don't know what to do. As well as paying the estate bills I really need my share.

Tbh I feel like running away. I'm barely eating. I can't concentrate on work. I can't bare to go to the house as it's so upsetting to see mums empty house. I'm lost

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost DM last year and I felt completely untethered and disorientated.

Surely your sister wants to sell ASAP, too? Is there another relative who could speak to her about the price - does it have to be you?
Try to get perspective. The house will sell and you will get your share. It might just take a while.

Consider grief counselling too.

I have no advice only that I am so sorry. Its hard enough dealing with such a devastating loss without the stress of your sister and the estate.
Maybe talk to a therapist about it. Can someone else deal with her on your behalf?
You can get through this terrible time with some support. I hope you get space to grieve.
