Help me please

How do I stop the harmless family members from telling me I need to go forth with a malpractice suit? I don't want to have the hurt carryon like that.

    Sorry you are having to deal with that. Not sure how to get them to stop other than telling them that's not what you want to do. Hopefully, telling them how you feel will help them understand your wants/needs. I will be sending thoughts and prayers your way. Hugs.

    We told them its not something we want to deal with because it drags out the hurt.

    ***Siggy warning***

     

    I am so very sorry that you are dealing with this. You could definitely tell them it is something you do not want to do because it will cause more hurt to you. You can also tell them that the statues of limitations are pretty long in these cases. Should you chose to do so a few years from now, you could visit it then (as long as you have all the documentation.) I do not know all of your story or how the malpractice may have entered things, but I would probably also wait until the pathology report comes back on your placenta and any other items your dr may want to address with you. Did you get an autopsy? That would also be information you would want before filing a suit. 

    All that to say, because lawsuits drag on sometimes for years, I would have to say it would be a very personal decision. There are a lot of tough decisions that come with the territory of loss, and ultimately, YOU and your DH/SO are the only ones who can make those decisions. One thing I have learned through loss, you really have to be blunt with people sometimes. They do not understand how mush they hurt you, and right now, you really need to protect yourself. 

    Again, I am so very sorry.

    we explored the idea due to pressure from others, but multiple lawyers said that loss of consortium is not recognized in my state. I agree that it would just drag out heartache as well. Unfortunately, I have loss faith in both doctors and lawyers  and both systems.
