SUPPORTING OUR DONOR FAMILIES

Family Resources | Patches of Love Quilt | Family Correspondence | Grief and Bereavement Resources

For those who are learning to live with their loss during the initial months and in the year following their loved one's death, NMDS staff will supply each family with support, care and guidance through phone calls, correspondence, activities and events that honor your loved one.

Beyond the initial hospital contact, our Family Care Coordinators are available to assist families with an assortment of bereavement materials, direct them to local support groups and provide information about the recipients who were given the gift of life. If requested we can also coordinate anonymous correspondence to the recipients when the donor families are ready to do so.
