Liver transplant patientsOften feel a huge debt of thanks to their donor and their family, and many take the chance to say thank you
“I want youto know I am
getting strongerevery day”
Writing a letter Many patients will write to their donor’s family to express the huge debt of gratitude they feel This gives great comfort to bereaved relatives knowing their loved one’s death has helped give a new lease of life to another person
Meeting family A very few liver recipients are able to meet their donor’s family to say a personal thank you This is after a lot of preparation and exchange of letters
“We will always be grateful to your wonderful family for giving us this gift. We hope you realise how amazing you are,
your courage, kindness and generosity will always be remembered”
