Hi Dianne, my name is Barbara and I have just read your post. I'm so sorry
for you loss.
My sister, Norma, died recently. She had an aneurism in her brain. Most of
her organs were transplanted ( lungs couldn't be used because of an
infection).
The decision to allow transplantation was not difficult, we all knew her
views; in fact I found 8 donor cards in her house when I went to sort things
out! But the reality is so hard, especially having to say goodbye to her when
she was still "breathing". But, hard as it was , we did it.
We were given a little information afterwards about which patients received
which organs and now, 6 months on, we have been told that all of the
recipients ( 8 ) are doing very well.
I know Len was not so fortunate but I am grateful for the fact that Norma's
death was not in vain.
Best wishes Barbara.
