I won't lie. This book was really hard to read at some points. Some of the stories in here are my nightmare. That my donor families would not feel at peace with their decision to donate...well, that's almost too much to bear.But, the truth is the truth. As a transplant patient, I feel it is my responsibility to look at all of the realities that encircle donation, not just the ones that make me feel good. I learned things about grief and donor family perspectives that I never knew. Hearing about the mistakes in the hospital that cause such confusion and pain for donor families made me just sick. I know this system all too well to not know that those things are true. To have those things happen when you are struggling with death is simply tragic.I am very glad I read this book. It only increased my appreciation for the two families that donated their loved ones lungs to save me from my own early death. But after reading this book, I see so much more clearly that, often, it's not about my near death at all. It's really about a family's loss. I think us recipients can lose sight of this simple fact very easily.Thank you for writing this book.Tiffany Christensen, Author of "Sick Girl Speaks!"
