Sorry for your loss: Having one pregnancy with a trisomy (21) will generally add 1% to your future risk of any chromosome defect. Add that to about 1% for your age. Any pregnant woman has ~4% risk of some unexpected outcome (premi, defect, infection,etc.) Add it up and you have 94% chance of a good outcome if you try now. Please consult with a medical geneticist who can explore both family trees to find all your risks
