When a woman's fiancé suddenly passed away, his family asked for the return of an ancient family heirloom engagement ring. However, the woman refused, as the ring had been blessed specifically for them and held special sentimental value. Despite legal ownership, the family continues to harass her, calling her selfish and jealous. Though a friend suggested she seek an objective opinion, the woman is left wondering if she is being blinded by grief. After much consideration, she has decided to gift the ring to Jake's 10-year-old cousin after she graduates high school and pay for her college tuition with the life insurance money she received. The woman hopes that this decision will honor both Jake and his grandma while also doing right by the family's wishes. What do you think? Is she in the wrong for keeping the ring, or is it her right to hold onto something so sentimental?
