Having walked the same path when my sister died and donated her organs, I’m sending so much compassion and empathy to you and your family. My family also made contact with the recipients and it was the most gratifying experience of my life.
I’m terribly sorry making contact has been so hard for you. Especially when both parties are willing. In my experience, the organization that facilitated my sister’s process was extremely cautious and conservative for good reasons. They told me they had come across some terrible and unethical requests from both the families of the recipient and donor. For example, donor families trying to guilt the recipient families into giving them money or gifts.
Best of luck to you finding the recipient. May you continue to find peace and healing.
