When siblings inherit property and discover they're grieving differently

My sister and I inherited our grandmother's house together and we can't agree on what to do with it — she wants to sell and I want to keep it in the family — but really we're grieving differently and the house has become the place we're putting all our feelings about loss and family and what we owe the past.
