When siblings disagree about honoring a spiritual ancestor's legacy

My sister and I are trying to honor our grandmother's spiritual legacy but we remember completely different things about what mattered to her and we keep arguing about whether we're betraying her memory or keeping it alive. Every family gathering becomes this minefield where we're both trying to speak for someone who isn't here to correct us and it's tearing us apart instead of bringing us together.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Ancestors in faith — the continuing relationship?”
