The Legal (and Practical) Reasons to Register as an Organ Donor
Organ donation is a generous, selfless gift. Choosing to register as an organ donor is a legal decision, like a will or advanced directive.
As a donor family member you will receive support from LifeSource in the months and years to come, including invitations to remembrance events and opportunities to connect with other grieving families whose loved ones gave the gift of life.
We are here to support you as you navigate this journey of grief and healing. Please contact us at any time by calling 1-888-536-6283 or by emailing us at familyservices@life-source.org.
The decision to write to your loved one’s recipient(s) is a very personal and powerful experience.
Donor families sometimes choose to write to transplant recipients to share information about themselves and their loved one. For some families, sharing with their loved one’s transplant recipient(s) helps them in their grief journey. We encourage you to write if and when it feels right for you.
LifeSource is honored to partner with What’s Your Grief and provide an online learning space for our donor families wishing to explore, learn and connect around topics related to grief, grief-coping and grief support.
