My brother had a heart transplant. Would you want to meet the donors family?  |
|
 I have mixed feelings about this because I may face the same thing down the road if I can't my own problems fixed. It has to be the strangest feeling and he has had a hard time dealing with it.
What are your views?

 WebMann (2768) | 3 years ago | I would never dream of finding and popping in on them.:)
I have seen things on TV and the net about how it does actually help both parties after the initial meeting.
But I know I would be way too emotional to ever meet them without being at total mess. I'm having a hard just thinking about it as I'm writing so I hope it never has to come to that for me.:)
Thanks for you comments | |

2.  CarlJennings (1573) | 3 years ago |  I would definately want to meet the donor's family. I think that it would be a great experiance, and i would be able to thank the family for saving my life.
But then, it would feel strange to me, to know that these people had a family member who died, and now his/her heart is in my bnody...

3.  missyd79 (2891) | 3 years ago |  i agree with your first response. if i was your brother i would ask the hospital to send a letter with my contact information on it to the family, that when if they want to and when they are ready they can contact me. I would want to meet the family because i would want to know what the person was like, espically since i have a peice of them inside me.

| WebMann (2768) | 3 years ago | I think it would be a lot overwhelming for both families involved. And I know it would eat at me not being able to express how I feel.
thanks for you words, always appreciated. | |
