Losing a family member is one of the toughest things that most people will go through in their entire life. And while it's never easy, it can be even worse when a young person is taken in a tragic accident.
Something that can ease the pain of losing a loved one is if their death has some type of meaning. One way that a death can have meaning is when other people's lives are saved as a result.
Organ donors can give lives to dozens of people through successful transplants.
For example, this little boy in Minnesota who got a second chance at life when a 4-year-old girl from Arizona tragically passed away. Her liver was flown thousands of miles and saved another set of parents from the heartbreak that comes with losing a child.
Then, there's this 7-month-old baby who died under the supervision of a babysitter. His heart went to save another little girl and allowed his mother to get another listen to her baby's heartbeat.
For the Heisler family, their 21-year-old son Matt's death came as a heartbreaking shock. Matt was caught in a house fire, and despite his roommate performing CPR, later died at the hospital.
His heart went to save Vietnam War Veteran Tom Meeks and his reunion with the Heisler family is absolutely beautiful to see.
