    • About Me

      I am a recent widow as my DH passed away 4-21-09 of cancer. We had trouble having a baby so we did IVF and was blessed with a baby girl named Aubrey. She was 14 months when her dad passed away and so it is just me and her now. I have a great family who supports me when I needed it. George was the best father, husband and friend anyone could have. I go on for my daughter as I know this is what he would want. I know he is in a better place and we will all meet again, I just wish we was here 2 see Aubrey grow up along side of me. God has one GREAT angel up there.

    • Open Widows & Widowers

      I can not believe I am even on this site, but here I am. My love of 8 yrs passed away very quickly just when we found his stomach cancer. We were married for over 6yrs and God blessed us through IVF with a little Girl who is 15 months old. He was taken on April 21, 09. I have been on DS for infertlity and it helped so I am hoping talk again with others who have been in this terrible place as I am could help.
