Sorrow Turned to Joy

Transplant recipients and their donor families always cherish the first time they meet face-to-face. For the recipients, it provides an opportunity to personally say "Thank You." For a donor family, they get to see firsthand the difference that their loved one made in the recipient's life. Oftentimes, those special moments give the donor family the joy and peace that they've been wanting ever since their loved one passed away, because they see that their spouse, parent, child, sibling, etc. is living on.

Please watch the special video embedded below (can also be watched by clicking here) of a donor mom meeting her son's heart recipient for the first time. Donor family / recipient meetings show how grief can quickly turn into joy. These special moments are the reason the Tennessee Organ Donation Foundation, Inc., and others, work so hard to promote organ and tissue donation.
