The Big Ask

The "Big Ask" is when a family is asked to donate a loved ones organs and tissues.  It is an awful situation no one would want to face.  Sadly many of us will face the Big Ask.  While nothing will ever prepare someone for this moment, we can help alleviate the pain and anguish.  By understanding the process, writing down our wishes and sharing them with our family and spiritual support persons – we give them a great gift by relieving them of the burden to answer the Big Ask.
When 19 year old Brooke died, her parents were comforted because she had made her wishes known.  This video tells her story and explains the processes surrounding end of life scenarios like these.
