[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother died recently. Brothers refused to claim her body from the hospital. Refused to sign the paperwork for the release. Did not show up for the funeral. So sad.  :( [/quote]

Actually, I'm pretty sure OP knows why.  She doesn't say here that she doesn't know why, she just gives the most basic outline of a few facts and says how sad she is.  But I'm pretty sure she knows the context, she's just choosing not to tell any of it.

I'm almost 50, and never ever ever in my life (and I work with families for a living as well as just having my own family and friends), never have I heard of anything like this where there is no reason.  Kids are not wired to reject their parents, unless there have been a LOT of experiential negative situations in that history.  Not saying it's the mom's fault, obviously we know nothing about the situation.  [b]Just saying 100% of the time that I've heard of this scenario (and I've heard it a lot in some form), when you unpack hte family history, there are very very clear reasons for it.  And a lot of pain[/b].[/quote]

OP here: I have to guess about their reasons. I could speculate -- my guess -- greed and guilt play a role. I still cannot believe that they would just leave her body in the morgue. So sad.  :( Then refusing her a burial by refusing to sign paperwork. Who knew it would be the state who helped? What did they think they were going to prove? They are not poor, or drug addicts who cannot act responsibly.[/quote]
