confused
After my love died of a massive heart attack, we were able to donate his corneas. I received a phone call from the local health department that his corneas tested positive for Hepatitis B and were not suitable for donation but would be used for research and professional education. Has any one else had this experience? Not sure what to think at this point.

I am happy that they will be used for research or professional education but was surprised he tested positive for Hep B. He worked construction all his life. And I am being tested as well. But are there a lot of false positives in the retrieval process? Does this happen often? He never showed any signs or symptoms. Just waiting for my test results now.

Hi Cydney, my first thought was that research is so key to undercovering sources for healing techniques. Although the corneas were not used in the way you imagined, they may serve a higher purpose in the needs of the many.

"Welcome to the group. I lost my partner on February 5th this year, so it's still pretty raw for me too. Reading through your story really touched a chord with me. Like you, I didn't think I would ever find a group like…"
Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
