[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of people lose their kids under bizarre or tragic circumstances. Somehow they seem to eventually be able to pick up their lives even without multi-million dollar settlements.[/quote]f
The settlement will be well less than 10 million, people are throwing out absolutely crazy numbers Willy nilly.[/quote]

And part of that money will have to be held in trust for the other sibling.  The parents and the surviving sibling are going to have split the money, if the wrongful death laws there are like the ones in my jurisdiction.[/quote]

Any idea why the law works like this? In this case the sibling is only 4. While I'm sure right now she is regressing, having nightmares etc. and may need therapy later on since she'll grow up in a grieving household -- is she really going to be affected for life? How many independent memories will a 4 yr old retain of her 2 yr old brother or the horror that unfolded by the time she is 14 or 20? She'll be able to tell people she had a brother and this is what happened -- but somehow I don't think too many 4 yr old memories stick.[/quote]

My oldest remembers a ton from when he was four. My others do not remember as much.

I am sure she will never forget what she witnessed, even if the memories fade.[/quote]
