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.

"is griefshare a website like this?"
"Kali
I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
