When siblings disagree about preserving a deceased family member's private digital content

My brother and I discovered that our sister who died last month had been documenting our family's most painful moments in detailed online journals and we're split on whether to delete everything or preserve it somehow. He thinks we should respect her digital legacy even if it exposes things we never wanted public, and I keep thinking about our kids finding this someday.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people must navigate the tension between honoring someone's digital expression and protecting the living from unintended exposure.
