Six weeks after he was elected to the Senate of Delaware in 1972, Joe Biden received a "devastating" phone call, informing him of the death of his wife and college colleague Nelia, when a trailer collided with her carriage she was driving with their three children.

The daughter Naomi (one year old) died, while the sons Bo (4 years old) and Hunter (3 years old) were severely injured, as a result of which they were receiving treatment in the hospital for several months. Biden was famous at that time being sworn in in a hospital next to his son Bo.

At the age of 30, Biden became a lonely father in charge of caring for his children, as he took a train home from Washington to Wilmington every night, until he met Jill 3 years later.

In his 2007 diary, Joe wrote of his wife, Jill, "She gave me my life back."

In an interview with Vogue, Jill recalled the first encounter with Joe, which was arranged by his older brother, as Jill says, "I was mature enough, but I found myself in front of someone in serious clothes, 9 years older than me, oh my God, this won't work." Never, not after a million years. "

But not long hours passed until a generation was drawn to the young widow, so she called her mother at one in the morning to tell her that she had finally found the right man.

Jill succeeded in bringing the grieving family back to life. Joe used to work late, so she used to go to his house to prepare dinner for the little ones and take them in the morning to school, until she became a second mother and a loyal friend.

"We were having a wonderful evening watching TV with them, until we started building our special relationship away from their father," Jill says in her diary.

Strangely, however, Jill was reluctant to consummate the marriage;

Joe Biden proposed to her 5 times before agreeing to the engagement, perhaps because her first marriage did not succeed, and she was wary of the idea of ​​marriage, and she was also afraid that marrying a political man would lose her career.

Moreover, she was fully aware of the dangers of playing the role of mother to two children who lost their mothers at an early age.

But over time, she fell in love with the two children, and they even asked their father to join Jill to their family, and she really felt that this marriage had to work. "Because they lost their mother, I couldn't make them lose another mother," she tells Vogue.

In 1977, Joe and Jill got married, took the boys with them on their honeymoon, and in 1981, the young family welcomed daughter Ashley.

Several months later, Joe underwent surgery to treat a brain aneurysm, and during his recovery period he developed a pulmonary embolism.

On this critical stage, Jill says, "I always fight to control myself, especially in times of hardship and adversity. Our children never saw me cry when Joe was lying facing death at Walter Reed Hospital."

While working full-time teaching at the university, Jill also fulfilled her duties as a partner in her husband's career path, but life is full of unrelenting storms, as the Biden family hit a new test in 2013, as the eldest son Beau was diagnosed with brain cancer and spent two years grappling with him.

Jill describes this stage, saying, "I was totally devastated, and my life changed in an instant. And throughout his illness I really believed that he would live, and I never lost hope, until the moment he closed his eyes."

As time passed, the Biden family recovered from their grief, and Joe decided to resume the presidential battle again in 2020.

Jill was literally fighting for her husband all the time, until she severely prevented one of the female demonstrators from approaching him on stage during the early days of the presidential race.
