Reeves, 41, who stars in "The Lake House," set to open in theaters next week, says he continues to mourn the loss of his stillborn daughter in 1999 and the death of the baby's mother, Jennifer Syme, in a car crash in 2001. "When the people you love are gone, you're alone," he said. "I want to get married. I want to have kids. ... I'll do it. Just give me some time." --
