The more personal it got with them, the less it was about me."<br /><br />I'm earning my nursing degree with American Sentinel University, and I originally got into Nursing to overcome my own fear of physical trauma and death- something that my studies and work didn't seem to be helping with, until I had a revelation that it wasn't all about ME!<br /><br />Thank you for your stories and your insights TC!

Your blog so captured the essence of how it feels to work with donor families. I am always humbled by the generosity of the families we work with, at the darkest times in their lives. They are truly heroes. I enjoyed your comments about the medical-social questions we ask the family. It reminded me of the times I have asked those questions and laughed with the family as they answered our questions. Being in a position to help get much needed organs to people who need life saving transplants is an amazing job. Being able to help donor families through their tragedy and find something meaningful about their tragedy is awe inspiring and truly humbling.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04807650188435411715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21003608.post-56394095907368437302009-04-08T15:04:00.000-04:002009-04-08T15:04:00.000-04:00I'll try and get some video footage for you.

Both Melissa and I are proud to have little parts in this production... Scott and his group make the coolest videos.<BR/><BR/>Second, and most important -- thank you for helping do some good. And, it's been more than a <B><I>short</I></B> time. Thank you for recognizing and remembering those names on the quilt... That means a lot to me, and even though they might not know it, it would mean a lot to their loved ones... You told us <A HREF="http://donorcycle.blogspot.com/2008/04/legacy.html" REL="nofollow"><B> once</B></A> that we "all want to be remembered, to leave behind a legacy..." You remembering is part of what makes their legacy...<BR/><BR/>I was at the Iowa Donor Network annual gala last weekend. I met a zillion people like you. (OK, maybe somewhere between 20 & 50.) And after all of the hugs and the stories -- I hope I left them with the feeling that they "helped do some good." That's one of my goals in life now.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for being so passionate about organ donation, and thank you for letting that passion come through in your actions, and in your writing.<BR/><BR/>And you're going to have to enlighten us on that roll in Godspell!!!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>SteveBreathinStevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425167024998690437noreply@blogger.com
