On December of 1990  J.K.Rowling lost her mother, who died of Multiple Sclerosis. She felt the loss deeply because she was really close to her mother.

 In 1991, J.K.Rowling left England to get a job as an English teacher in Portugal. It was here that she met her first husband, Jorge Arantes. They had a child named Jessica.
