Sitting in my kitchen, I was signing the final invoices for my granddaughter’s $80,000 wedding—until I heard her tell a friend, “If Grandma would just disappear before the big day, everything would be perfect… and I’d get the inheritance, too.” My heart went cold.

A neighbor told me they’d rushed out the night before… and I realized I was about to face a truth that hurt more than money ever could.
