Respect the memory of the deceased

CHAPTER SIX:  MANAGING THE ESTATE

Recommendation #24:  Respect the Memory of the Deceased by Your Words and by Your Actions (PAGE 75)

I remember when my grandmother passed away.  She didn't have much, but hours after her death family members were acting like crazy people going through her things and grabbing what they could.  During those hours, I rememeber feeling so sad that people had forgotten GG's death so soon and were on to what they could get for themselves from her death.  I also remember feeling that GG did not raise her sons and daughters, as well as her grandchildren to act like this.  I felt like her life was completely disrepected by family members actions.  I know it's hard to lose a loved one, and that most people place a huge importance on things belonging to that loved one, however, I feel as though we could have respected GG and her life more by acting in a different manner.
