My daughter received a donor’s heart at 6 months old, after hers had been shredded beyond repair by a virus. I’ve tried to write a thank you note to the donor family several times, but each time I’ve thrown it away. The words feel so hollow and small compared to the gift we were given.
It feels selfish to not write just because I can’t get out of my own way emotionally — but what can you possibly say?
