A donor family perspective - resilience in the worst moment of your life with Veronique The Tough Cookie Podcast

    • Journaux personnels

As Veronique and I both discuss in this podcast, we wouldn't have chosen organ donation to be the way that our paths crossed, but we are grateful that they crossed nonetheless.
Veronique's story never fails to move me - to lose the person whom you love dearly is devastating, but to also not have acknowledgement as that person's life partner would be absolutely heartbreaking, and something that many would not even think twice about - I know this because I heard a lot of feedback that was given when I attended a speech that Veronique has given last year.
Cat's legacy lives on in the recipients of her organs, and will always be there in Veronique's cherished memories of her I know that she will also live in in the hearts of everyone who hears this recording, and that fills my heart. Veronique and Cat's story may have been cut short far too early, but by sharing it, I hope we can provide some new thinking, some perspective and some tolerance towards marginalised communities in our society.
