How Jackie Lost Her 3 Children

Joseph was married to her first husband, Ken Berry, and together they had a son Joseph Berry who died as an infant in 1962. He was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial in Hollywood, California.

The actress and Berry adopted a son John in 1964, but he died from a brain tumor at 51. Then the couple had a daughter, Jennifer, who died of natural courses at 55.

Jennifer was a proud schoolteacher. She graduated from the University of Southern University and studied Philosophy. She was also known to be an elementary school's dedicated and loving teacher.

She and Berry divorced, and she married Lawrence in 2003, and they have been together ever since. However, she still remembers the children they shared together.

The actress shared a tribute to her children, John and Jennifer, who she said were 11 months apart. The mother of three said she would forever remember them together. She added, "Of course, I think of you always with gratitude for our time together."

Even at 89, she still visits the grave of her first son, who only lived for six days. Joseph had one promise for her son, and she wrote, "I promised him I would live a life that would make him proud. John always thought of him as a brother … together now, quite a force of nature."

The actress has experienced many significant and painful losses, but even through that, she still lives a happy life with her husband and travels the world with him.

She and Lawrence are also still keeping things fresh in their relationship. Joseph and her husband went to celebrate their first trip since he had a "cluster surgery."

The actress was grateful to have made it back safely, but she expressed how jet-legged they were and were spending the rest of their days lying on the couch and recovering from their trip.

They also had a cruise, and the actress shared a picture of them in floral outfits and wrote, "From The Doris Day Cruise on Crystal Cruises ship... life-changing with new friends."

She is grateful for her first son, who only lived for six days and introduced her to the beautiful journey of motherhood. Her other two children also grew up to become successful and caring people, which Joseph will forever be proud of.
