Settle?? Bad outcome doesn’t equal malpractice

Bro, I lost the love of my life in May after being diagnosed with Cancer in January. Nothing is normal and I can’t promise it will get better. That said what keeps me going is our kids. If I don’t show them how to overcome and still live then who will. YouTube sure af won’t. I know it sucks mate and I’m very sorry for your loss.

Seems easy to set one up.

Sign Up | GoFundMe

I'd do this ASAP! Then update the OP with the link.

Prayers for you man. Be as strong as you can for your children.


Maybe post the contact info for the funeral home? Can't imagine they would mind taking payments from a large number of people. It's what they do when someone has 10 children and 25 grandchildren.

I am so sorry for your loss, I can't even begin to think how hard this is on you right now, but you mention you had kids they will need you now more than ever. You have to find the strength to be strong for them. God bless you and your family.

I’m aware but they can wipe his bills if anything. But I would still hire a malpractice lawyer to make sure nothing was done wrong.

Good lord. That’s sad.

I’m so sorry. Experienced some same things you have this year but mine didn’t die.
All I can say is your children need you. Mine pulled me through.

Your wife died last night, and your first thought is to come to the internet and ask strangers for money.

I know a lot of people are going to think I'm a horrible person for saying this, but this does not pass the initial sniff test.
bc maybe that's the main thing on his mind right now, burying his wife.

I'm not gonna argue about his state of mind, but you are a better man than he is, rouge...we get it.

I added a gofundme to my post just titled link. I am too exhausted to do better right now. If you can help please do. God will bless you. If you think it's a scam email me and I will give out my phone number and talk to anybody. I would give an arm and a blow job to give my wife a funeral and burial. If someone would pin this or spread the word I am grateful and out of energy. I need a nap or to at least attempt it. Thanks guys.

So sorry, David. I can’t imagine your shock and pain and anger and sadness, especially during this time of year.

Don’t worry about the funeral or costs or expenses, just worry about taking care of yourself and being strong and their for your kids. We’ll help out with the rest.

God bless

If anybody knows how to make my go fund me work and if you don't mind helping. I am desperate for a nap. I am taking a Xanax and setting the alarm for four hours. I feel trashy asking for money but I owe it to my dead wife and everyone that loved her. Thank you.

Sorry for your loss. Will keep y’all in our prayers. Nothing wrong with seeing a med mal attorney. Just know going in that Throwing a clot is fairly common post knee surgery, especially if you move too much. I know of two healthy people that died as a result of it. One was late 30s the other late 40s. Both didn’t follow post op orders regarding their activity level.

When my mom passed, she had nothing. I was poor. I got on credit karma, saw which card I was most likely to be approved for, and put it on that for a few months.

Having said that... We may hit your goal by the time you wake up.

Incredibly sorry to hear that, and happy to contribute.

I understand the feeling of not wanting to ask for help. 18 years ago my Dad died, who had been taking care of my oldest sister who was injured in a car accident when she was 20 and was a quadreplegic. That had been 22 years before. My wife and I had been married a few years and were expecting our first child, but were not yet in a financial position to take her in without help. I was a member of TigerRoar.com back then, and the guys there stepped up and were a huge help getting us started in that regard and their generosity in that awful time was something I'll never forget. Truth is, there are people out there that will help...they just need to know you need it. Don't allow shame to make your situation worse.

Also, you did not mention the age of your kids, but you're their world now. Not to make it about me again, but my mom died suddenly when I was 6 years old, and my father suddenly became a single parent of four kids ranging from 5 to 16. This was a great guy, but my mom had apparently always taken care of everything so he was suddenly overwhelmed. 4 years later my oldest sister would have that terrible accident, and there were plenty of reasons for my dad to just give up. My point mentioning this is that through it all he persevered. As an adult with a wife and kids now, I finally understand what a Herculean effort that was for him, and one I never fully appreciated at the time. His strength not only got us all through it, but that example was one that made me a much better man and hopefully a better father. Sadly, that has to be you now. You need to find the strength to be up to that task, because they are counting on you.

Good luck to you and you kids.
