Shannon, we grew up being told that exact same thing...That for my mum to live a new life someone out there would have to move on from this life. It sounds like an awful thing to think and say doesn't it? But for me, being told that as a teenager helped me to appreciate the generosity of a grieving family.
I had many friends who wouldn't even give organ donation a second thought. But when my mum received her transplant after being on dialysis for 10 years, I had some many peole come and pass on their well wishes and even one friend said he had never thought of donating until he found out about my mum and he will be telling everyone he knows that we should all be donors as well. It really touched me that he said that.
