I am sorry. Maybe I am reading it wrong.

“One of my sisters is a free spirit who dislikes committing to "plans." She likes to just wake up everyday and spontaneously see what she feels like doing. Her home is tends to be a venue for drama. I could arrive there, saying, "I'm here for a week." Two days later, I might want to get the heck out of there. Or we might be having a grand time. I've had it go both ways. This sister is a widow and has strongly encouraged me to come live with her. My other sister is a planner”

Yeah. It seems that most families are never the way one would hope them to be. I get it. Hope you feel better soon falling into routine. It’s good you did something to lay your brother to rest. So something else was accomplished on the trip.
