in his book about Time, stephen hawkings said that an analysis of human bones shows that apart from other things our bones have traces of the ashes of dying stars in them.

It's a very romantic, poetic thought freda, but all he's refering to is any element with a higher atomic weight than iron can not be made naturally in a star since the fusion of heavier elements consumes more energy than it creates. The heavier elements tend to come from when the times when things start to go really wrong for "old" stars (stars in different classes and masses age at different rates, so it's all relative).

We are made of the poisons that the star die and that get puked out as it's going. :D
