@leahd, Welcome to Connect. I am happy that you have felt comfortable to share your transplant story here. Mayo Connect is a safe place where you can share your experiences with others, and give and receive support. You can ask and answer others, or you can read along. I am a liver and kidney recipient I transplanted 10 years ago at age 60. I am interested in hearing more about you.
This must have been a frightening period of your life. Do you know what caused the liver and kidney failure? or why it was so sudden?

Here is a transplant discussion - Writing to Your Donor's Family. - You will see what some members have to say about letters to their donor and I invite you to join in the conversation As you read the responses, I encourage you to be open for ideas that others have discussed before you. Go ahead and ask a question or make a comment. Please do not let yourself feel guilty about delaying your letter. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/writing-to-your-donors-family/
