If it helps, I look at it as..."I'm dead, I don't need the organs anymore, and someone else does." That perspective holds true across the donors I know. Don't think of it as "This person died for me"...they did not. The donor died, for whatever reason took them, and with their death, you get to live a bit more. It should be more an additional reason to live for, not be upset that "someone died for me".

I have already thought about it and reconciled myself to the fact that when I pass, any usable organs of mine will go to people on 'the list'. I won't know those people. Anything about them. At all. Other than their need is great enough to be on 'the list' in the first place. That's good enough for me, and I hope that any and everyone who gets my organs lives a good and long life as well.

That knowledge is all I need, as a donor. Frankly...you can't find me to 'thank me' as I'm dead. You are going to have to attempt to live up to my hope that you live a good life. That would be thanks enough.

Fun story, although it digresses a little, I was an organ donor because...I dont care what anyone does with me when I'm dead, if you can use me then go for it.

However my right to donate organs was revoked due to a genetic medical issue.

Well...I tried.

Totally makes sense, but for some reason logic flies out the door. It's stupid and petty and I really should not care

We're gonna take you up on that.

Couldn't have mentioned this before I found out the hard way?
