"As the eldest sibling, I did what I always do, which is jump in and become the fixer. I organised the funeral, paid for it and told my siblings they could pay me back once the dust had settled."
"I'm sensitive to the fact that he's grieving, but he's not short of money and it's really niggling at me."
After losing their mother suddenly two years ago, the eldest sibling took on the role of organizer and financial provider for the funeral. They expressed sensitivity towards their grieving sibling but feel frustrated that the sibling, who is financially stable, has not yet repaid the funeral costs. This situation has created tension and lingering feelings of resentment regarding the financial obligations among the siblings.
