When siblings disagree about honoring a loved one's spiritual legacy

My brother and I inherited our grandmother's house and we can't agree on what to do with her shrine room - he wants to maintain it exactly as she left it and I feel like that's turning it into a museum instead of something alive. We're both trying to honor her memory but we have completely different ideas about what that means and it's bringing up everything about how differently we experienced her faith.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people learning that grief and reverence can pull in opposite directions.
