Grief and organ recipients

[Splishsplashimhavingabath]

I don’t know if this is the best place to put this thread so I apologise if it’s in the wrong place.
Has anyone ever met their family members organ recipient and did it help with grief? It’s been a few years since my mum passed away but I find myself thinking about the recipients a lot. I have had some letters which I have responded to and they are a great comfort but I find myself wanting to know more about them if they are ok etc. Not sure is this a grief thing though that I need to sort out in my head and that I maybe don’t necessarily need to meet them. Also I fully understand they may not want to know me anyway.

Sorry for the ramble I guess I just needed to get it off my chest!

I don't have any experience but just wanted to say what a lovely thing you did

Thank you that’s so kind of you to say x

I'm in a reversal of this. I've had letters from recipients of my late DH's donated organs, but never replied. I'm a terrible procrastinator.

I do wonder about them sometimes, and hope they are well.

I am sorry for your loss echt 💐.
It’s nice to receive letters but I find it very difficult to know what words to put down I want to reply but never sure what to write

I've though about this and might pick up on what they said in their letter, and develop it. If such letters go through a donation organisation anyway, they will censor anything too personal or revealing.
