Heather Clark got a special gift on Friday: The grieving mother was able to listen to her late son's heart beating inside the little girl who received the organ after his death.
"The sound was so strong," Clark told People. "I could feel him there with me. He is continuing on through her, no doubt."

Nah. I kinda like the stories of organ donors' families meeting the lucky recipient and even forming relationships. Some people take longer to let go, that's all... especially when the donor is a child.
I hope lots of people get to use my leftover meat when I'm done using it.

Creepy is an understatement. Worshiping the organs. At least nobody ate that heart.

I don't understand why anyone would think so. This woman lost her child - one of the worst things that can happen to anyone - and in the midst of that tragedy, she donated his heart so another child could live. It's understandable to me that she should feel a connection to the child who now lives because of her son's heart, and even that she would want to hear her son's heart beating on.

No, it is not creepy. It is a mother handling her grief.

The last thing I would want is a grieving parent following my child around.

Yes, before clicking and reading your comment, I thought this is creepy.
No one wants to lose a loved one, but when it happens you gotta let go.
Imagine the recipient’s parents, having this creep hanging around. I’m certain they are grateful, but since 2013, enough is enough. I see this person approaching the girl when she’s a teenager or older claiming partial parental rights or whatever a sick mind can conjure.

The last thing I would want is a grieving parent following my child around. The last thing you want is your child dead. Just be grateful for the heart and figure it out from there
To: RGSpincich
Sure, but for 3 years she’s following this girl around.
