They say “the call” changes everything. For most transplant patients, that phone call means life, hope, and a second chance. But what happens when you get the call, only to find out you’re not next? This week, I open up about what it feels like to stand between hope and heartbreak. We’ll discuss the emotions that flood in: joy, fear, guilt, and the complex dance between selfishness and selflessness that comes with waiting. Because sometimes, even when the phone rings, the hardest part isn’t the wait, it’s what the waiting brings out in us.

Takeaway: You are invited to reflect on how you manage hope when outcomes aren’t guaranteed, and how to honor both the selfish desire to live and the selfless heart that wishes others well.
