A woman’s grandma had an engagement ring that she gave to her fiancé to propose to her with.
Her grandma really wanted her ring to remain in their family, and her grandma also adored her fiancé.
Her grandma and her fiancé kept this a secret from her, so when her fiancé got down on one knee, she was floored to see that he was proposing with her grandma’s own special ring.
It was such a special moment for her, and their wedding date was set for February 12th of 2022.
Sadly, her grandma passed away, and then her fiancé passed away too on November 21st of last year due to complications with epilepsy.
“I still wear the ring and am not ready to give it up, I plan to always keep it to remember both my grandmother and the man I had been ready to spend my life with,” she explained.
“My brother recently reached out, however, asking for the ring as he wants to propose to his girlfriend, and he said, and I quote, that I’m not “using it” now. I was upset by this and told him that I wasn’t giving him the ring, but he believes I’m being unreasonable.”
Their mom and dad both are firmly on her brother’s side, and her parents have attempted for the last year to get her to fork over the ring to her brother.
Her parents believe that her relinquishing the ring will mean it can be utilized for something positive and happy and that her brother can make better memories with the ring.

Her mom and dad’s opinions have only made her feel even worse about losing her fiancé.
She doesn’t want to give her brother the ring because her grandma gave it to her and her fiancé, not just so that the ring would stay in their family; her grandma had a special bond with her fiancé and wanted her to be the one to wear the ring.
She tried suggesting to her parents that maybe her mom can give her brother her engagement ring, so there’s still a special family heirloom aspect to his engagement, but they won’t compromise.
“I keep getting badgered by the family over the ring and how I’m being unreasonable and spiteful, ruining what should be a lovely moment for my brother,” she continued.
“I’m far too raw to judge this clearly is it so wrong of me to intend to keep the ring?”
