These last four months have no doubt been at times unbearable for Melissa Rivers and her son Cooper. The untimely death of Joan Rivers in early September has been a devastating blow for the tight-knit family, and while Melissa is starting to step out in public again, that does not mean things are back to normal either for her or Cooper.
TMZ caught up with the late comedienne's daughter last week and asked her about her holiday wish, and Melissa said her fondest Christmas wish would be for her son to begin laughing again. While she said she believes 2015 will have great things in store for them, it seems it may be awhile before they are feeling somewhat back to normal.
Even if Melissa and Cooper have adjusted to not having Joan as a prominent part of their daily lives, there is still a legal battle ahead. It seems many mistakes were made by the staff of the Yorkville Endoscopy Clinic, from administering too much propofol to Joan to ignoring the fact that her vitals had dropped for an extended period of time, and Melissa has every intention of holding them accountable.
She retained a high-profile Manhattan law firm a few months ago to go after the clinic for malpractice, and it is hard to believe she will be able to fully move on before this case is settled.
In the meantime, it seems Melissa and Cooper have literally been taking things a day at a time. Do you think the Yorkville Clinic might be willing to settle things out of court to save itself the embarrassment of the whole world knowing precisely how negligent it has been? Would that be in Melissa and Cooper's best interest?
