Charles explains how their son registering their decision to donate their organs made it easier when he died.

My son registering as an organ donor made everything so much easier during a difficult time. Knowing their wishes, we were able to fully support and respect that choice. We talked about what this would involve. He made it clear that he wanted all of his organs to be available to transplant, and that he didn’t mind that this would involve surgery. The process was made smoother by the fact that he had registered his decision. We felt very proud of his decision, it’s just like him to want to help others. For us, knowing that his decision has changed the lives of other people, has been a small but meaningful comfort through the process of grief.
