It's something I struggled with, thinking of it makes you uncomfortable. You have to indicate which organs you do and don't want to donate down to your skin to your whole body.

I felt guilt about not registering because because I know it is what I would want if given the choice at time of death. Is it fair to leave it up to my family to make that decision at a time of such great grief if we never talked about it? And consulting the family takes time making the organs less viable.

A friend of mine lost a cousin cousin who was a donor and able to give an organ to a niece. It was a sad story but one of a life well lived and helping one in need.

I turned that nagging voice off in my head and signed up to be a donor the next day. My friend convinced me it take 10-15 minutes at most once you decide it's what you want.

before that I was mainly just procrastinating on a topic of discomfort. But as soon as I was done the discomfort went away.

And when I hear stories given to loved ones of the lost about where the organs went and saved I know it brings the survivors great comfort.

It comforta them to know your loss of life continued another. But then also it helps them feel you aren't completely gone. Your heart, that heart beats on. Your eyes, those eyes live on. It's great comfort.
