Heart

Survivors guilt

AlanTransplant Patient

August 31, 2026 in Heart

Count mine double- heart and kidney. Heart donor was 26 years old, was a veteran , and loved his grandpa. Loved cats. Kidney donor was over 50 and died of a stroke. When I got my first letter from my heart donor family I sobbed for 3 days. Part survivors guilt, part ptsd. Hard to separate the two.
