Having had lost everything?
I've just had an English Exam and I wrote 'after having had lost everything, this act of kindness was immeasurable'. I'm kicking myself as I think it should have said 'after have lost everything, this act of kindness was immeasurable'. Without the had? Does it still make sense with the had?
