    I Sacrificed for My Mother During Her Illness, but Her Will Was Unexpected

    About a year ago, I got a call from the doctor that shattered my world—Mom had stage four cancer. I had just gotten married, but I didn’t even hesitate. I canceled our honeymoon, drained my savings, and practically moved into that cold hospital room with her.

    I fed her ice chips when she couldn’t swallow water. I held her hand during her night terrors. I stayed awake just listening to her breathe, making sure she was still there. Every single day, I was by her side.

    For illustrative purposes only

    Meanwhile… my sister, Lila? She never called. Not once. Not since she’d stormed out seven years earlier after that huge fight about Dad’s will. She said Mom had manipulated it and swore she’d never forgive her.

    Mom didn’t make it. Cancer won after three long months. I was heartbroken, still trying to breathe through the grief, when the lawyer called us in to read Mom’s will. That’s when I saw Lila for the first time in years.

    The lawyer started reading, and my stomach dropped. Everything—everything—went to Lila. The house, the bank accounts, the jewelry. My name wasn’t even mentioned.

    Lila looked “shocked,” or at least she tried to. I wanted to scream. To ask how she came back. What she said, what she did to get all this.

    For illustrative purposes only

    But I just sat there, numb. Had Mom secretly forgiven her? Or was this some twisted way to punish me—for what, I didn’t even know.

    What I felt wasn’t just sadness—it was anger. Bitter, sharp, unfair anger. I had given everything for months, and apparently, it meant nothing.

    Even now, after all this time, I still can’t stop thinking about it. Am I overreacting? Or is it normal to feel blindsided and betrayed?
