I've made peace with the losses I've experienced, and I don't want to open up new wounds.
Besides, both my grandfathers would refuse to speak to me if they found out I had given up a million dollars. One grandpa lived through the Hunger Winter in the Netherlands, and the other the Depression. One had to be bullied into replacing his worn-out clothing, and the other went shopping for a Bose radio and bought one for us, not for himself. I think it's clear that I would actually feel less guilty taking the money.
