When Mike was getting listed and and then waiting for his transplant, we all went to counseling. his parents went together and Mike and I went together. This helped for several reasons:
1) Our counselor helped us to visualize the entire process so that we could face it calmly.
2) A safe place to vent every emotion.
A transplant is a big huge deal. I think they should make it a rquirement for every family facing it to have some counseling just to get prepared!
Also, just know there are tons of people on here who have been through it who will be happy to answer all of your questions!
