I want you to know that you are always among friends here on Connect. That is why we exist - to share our experiences and to support each other because we each 'get it' and are able to listen and respond without judgement. Does that make sense? I joined Connect when I was looking for someone who had similar experiences as me, because nobody really understood my mix of emotions afterward (transplant joy mixed with recipient quilt). I found this to be a place of compassion and healing and encouragement. And, we are here 24 hours a day!
