An inheritance can preserve a connection while creating work nobody prepared the recipient to do.

Things left to you arrive carrying two loads. There is the tie to the person, which is why the object matters, and there is the paperwork, the storage, the decisions among relatives who each remember differently. Nobody is trained for the second load, and it usually lands while grief is still fresh. Feeling weighed down by something you also treasure is not ingratitude.

If you are holding something like that, try separating the two. Name what you want the connection to, and let the practical work be scheduled rather than carried all at once. Asking for help with it does not reduce the affection underneath.
