Widow, 38, gives birth to child 16 months after her husband’s death


A woman who lost her husband to a brain tumour has given birth to a child just over two years after his death

Jasdip Sumal, 38, gave birth to her second child after having IVF treatment

Jasdip’s husband, Aman began suffering headaches and seizures in August 2020 and was soon diagnosed with a grade 4 brain tumor.

The couple had their son, Rajan, via IVF in 2019 and had always planned to have more children.

Jasdip told the Daily Mail: “We had our son in 2019 and had planned to have another child, but Aman got sick and everything after that was a whirlwind so we never got the chance.

“I knew he did not have long and I thought it would be nice to tell him in case he understood me. He passed away in December 2021 and after that, I was coping with the grief of losing him.

“I still wanted to have a family though, and knew there was never going to be a good time.”

Jasdip fell pregnant in August 2022, some eight months after Aman’s death.

She gave birth in April 2023.

She said: “I know Aman would have been all over our daughter. It’s just a shame he won’t ever get to meet her.

“It’s bittersweet, which is what I think everyone struggles with, but hopefully she’ll bring acceptance that Aman has gone and that the next chapter for us all is the kids.

“I have a big family and have had so much support throughout.

“I couldn’t have done it without them.”
