@gaylea, Yes, I felt that way, until it was explained to me that someone made the choice to be an donor when he/she died.and longer needed those organs.. The comforting words for me were that "it was a choice, and act of ultimate love of one human being for another".

Did you know that April is National Donate Life Month? It is a whole month dedicated to celebrating Life through organ donation. It is a month when education and promotion of the National Organ Donor registry is emphasized. It is a month where people are encouraged to make that powerful decision.

You will have the opportunity to write a letter to the donor family at a reasonable time after your transplant. Your transplant team will talk to you about it at the appropriate time.. When that opportunity arises, I encourage you, and all transplant recipients to do it.
