so sad!!!

edited August 2013 in Social Groups
Just found out today our donor past away 3 months ago. Im so saddened by this, he gave my husband and I the most amazing beautiful gift, our son. I always imagined our son looking him up one day and meeting him and my husband and I gettinggetting the opportunity to thank him. Im am also deeply saddened for his family. I was impressed by what he wrote and that was what made my final decision on choosing him as a donor, I felt he had a good heart.

  • I am not sure even what to say to this.. I feel like a part of us was just lost. We too imagined our children one day meeting him as we'll as us thanking him for such an amazing gift. My heart is truly sadden by this. How did you find out? Do they know if it was health related? I hope his family knows what a wonderful son they had and that he gave us and others the opportunity to have a family. Very sad news.
  • I am just joining this forum as I didn't really know it existed until a few months ago when I found out about his death. I am in the same boat and I felt just awful! I still do, knowing that my children will never be able to know who helped give them life. What I also feel sad about is that his family doesn't even know he was a donor. If that had been my son or brother and they donated and then passed away I would certainly want to know if they had any babies running around. I'm hoping that somewhere the family will find something that tells them he was a donor. I know our babies have to be 18, but I wonder if it would be different in a circumstance like this. I would have no problem sending his family occasional pictures to know that he did a wonderful thing for us! My 3 month old is spitting image of him (without the dimple) and my daughter is all me, but has the dimple.
