I took over a page for a dead relative and now it says I created the page.

I did not create the page. A close relative died and I saw they had a Find a Grave page populated. This was during the window for relatives to take over the page, and I took it. Now it says my account created the page.

Can someone explain how this happened? Does Find a Grave automatically scrape data from the obits and create these pages, granting creator rights to the person who takes over first? And is there a way to change it? For reasons I'm having trouble articulating to myself, this inaccuracy is bothering me.

The page had a copy and paste of the obit FYI.

Should I clean her room?

Sis is getting help out of the house right now after a really bad medical event relating to alcohol. Her room is a straight mess. Lots of trash and clothes thrown everywhere. I snooped a bit and there's also empties shoved in the drawers, under the mattress, on the bookshelf, etc. Sad and hard to look at.

My mom wants to clean her room or at least go through it for any alcohol that remains, but I think it's a bad idea. On one hand, her room is awful and when she gets home I know it's gonna be depressing sitting in that filth. Maybe she'd feel loved and will maintain a better headspace in a nice clean room, a fresh start. On the other hand: she made her mess, time to clean it up. I think seeing the consequences of her actions and how she was living while at her worst would be a hard but ultimately necessary thing. The cleaning process could also be healing and confidence-building. Having her mom or sibling clean it up might just bring more shame.

Thoughts? My gut says no but I'm afraid of making the wrong choice.
