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.

My Fathers Loss
Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child
I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
