My Mom was the most adorable baby. 1946, my Nana had to have a C-section, my mother was a miracle baby..
When I was 19, I had thought about having a baby, but this left my mind fast. I was interested in my theatre career, which was fun, for 6 years. I was a ‘big fish in a small pond,’ and I liked that. I did go to NYC after the 6 years, I auditioned for the part of Vera in “MAME” @ St James Theatre in NYC, and I got the part, BUT, my grandmother was ill, so I flew back to Cali to take care of her for 11 years.
I got married on June 16, 2001 to my best friend, but what happens when you marry your best friend? You lose your friendship.. Luckily enough, we are still very excellent friends.. But, in between, I had a life-threatening surgery at 42 years old.. Time had now come and gone with having a baby. So many years of taking care of Nana, being in a loveless marriage, and now too OLD. No, no adoptions, folks. Just facing the reality of not being able to have babies at 45 years old..
I don’t think you’re “too old” Paulette. In fact, compared to me you’re still a child!
I’m sorry for your loss. I think it’s still possible for 45 year olds to have a baby, it’s just very difficult to conceive, and no doubt the birth would be difficult too. But here’s a website on advanced age fertility. Maybe it’ll offer some gem to you:

Does your husband have any children from a previous marriage?
Sorry for being so nosey..I was thinking if he did ..you could be a grandmother maybe..that could be for filling .

My sweet sister,
There are so many Jewish babies for adoption. I think you would be a most excellent mother
Ah…touches my heart a bit…
