MY LIFE WITH HIV

Funeral
Gilbert & Millicent's story | 1/11 |

My first wife, Rose, passed away in 2002. This is a photo of her funeral.

We had been married for five years when she died, a week after giving birth to our third child.

I was never told what she died of. She was in a government hospital and the doctors didn't tell us much. In fact they didn't have much to do with the common man. You couldn't ask questions.

I was left as a single dad looking after three small kids: a four-year-old, a two-year-old and a one-week-old baby.
