Short Stop: Two Things
L.C. Hill
My friend, who is intimately knowledgeable on the subject, told me doctors have six minutes after someone dies to harvest a heart before it’s too late to be good for someone else.
Two things:
When you break, act quickly to make sure your heart is taken care of. Someone else will need it, and you’ll want it to be healthy when they do;
and no matter how bad it gets—no matter how weak and broken it feels—your heart is stronger than you think it is. It can, after all, survive longer than you.
