Family of 11-year-old boy who died in unheated Texas mobile home sues power companies for over $100

20. I struggled with this

When my favorite husband died at the age of 38, I was devastated. I felt that his doctor was horrible, and could have done more to try to save him. I saw a lawyer, and when I told him I really didn't want money, he told me I HAD to want money. I struggled a lot with what it would mean to be enriched because my husband died. It felt like I was putting a price on his life. I wondered how I could live with that.

Ultimately I didn't file a suit because, with the help of medical experts, I realized that it would likely not be provable that my husband could have been saved with better care. Not back in those days.

My point is, I get what you're saying. I also understand the desperation of a family suffering the loss of that little boy. It's incomprehensible. I imagine that his grief-stricken mother is feeling much the same as I did at the time my husband died. All I wanted was to have him back. All she wants is her son back. It's futile to ask for the impossible, so you ask for what IS possible.

Losing her son was hell, and this lawsuit is also going to be hell.
