Skeptical Optimist Walk-on

I know somebody who died unexpectedly, and the family had a very negative experience with the organ donation harvesters, and it added a new negative dimension to their ability to grieve. In the end they wished that he wasn't a donor.

It really does become the very definition of bittersweet. My brother was an organ donor,

My family allowed my brother's organs to be donated.

The only real comfort came from The Comforter. Maybe I should say some satisfaction that he was still

Ugh. Don't read the comments. I know that goes without saying, but man there

I was just reading through some of them. Despicable.

I feel the same way about the bad parenting comments, and frankly the anti religion ones are the same

Lack of understanding?

I just don't think those comments are the worst of it.

These types of scum are better off being introduced to Lucille and Neegan.

Before having kids I would have read a story like this and thought it was sad...

We are not far off from the "enlightened" tossing "believers" and their families

Isn't it odd that the "comment section" of any article is used thusly?

I honestly struggle to understand people who aren't organ donors.

I was a donator until I got married and my wife made me take it off the card.

Very aggressive, making the widow sign things, promising that it wouldn't affect

Those people deserve to have something worse than this happen to them.

It does no good to return evil for evil. They may never change, but they usually shut up when ignored or shown

I don't get it. It's apparently criminally negligent to have blinds with cords?
