When George, Mariana’s husband, died, it broke her heart. They had been married for 25 years, and the memories of him still stayed in their home. She was really hurt, though, when her granddaughter Susan asked for George’s property. Susan’s greed and disrespect made Mariana feel terrible, even though they used to love each other.
Six months after George’s death, Susan and her husband showed up at Mariana’s door and demanded that she give them George’s property. Mariana, who was still upset, was shocked by how rude they were. When she said no, Susan’s real self came out, and Mariana was devastated.
Mariana began to doubt the relationship she thought they had after the meeting. She thought back to the good times, the laughs, and the memories they had together. But now Susan’s deeds have ruined those memories, making Mariana feel hurt and betrayed.
Mariana wanted to move on, so she gave Susan what she wanted in order to end the matter. But a shocking turn of events happened. George had given all of Mariana’s property to her, leaving Susan with just $3,000 and an old car. You could feel Susan’s anger, but Mariana stayed cool because she knew she had made the right choice.
Following that, Mariana felt a sense of calm wash over her. She realized that George had looked out for her and made sure she was okay even after he died. Mariana sold everything she owned and started a new life, far away from the bad relationship she had with her stepdaughter.
Even though Susan tried to get in touch with Mariana, she was set on moving on. All that counted was that she was at peace and could move on. Sometimes, the only way to move forward is to let go.
Mariana’s story shows us this. It took Mariana setting limits and putting her own health first before she could be happy again.
Mariana understood that George’s death had taught her something important as she thought back on it. She learned to enjoy the good times and let go of the bad ones. This gave her a fresh start in life, one that was full of hope, peace, and closure.
