Tissue donation turns grief into inspiration

Columbus, OH – Death can be a difficult subject to talk about, but state officials and health advocates want it to become part of the discussion this month, particularly when it comes to organ and tissue donation. April has been designated Donate Life Ohio Month, with the goal of reminding residents the death of a loved one can often result in saving and enhancing the lives of others. While organ donation attracts the most attention, officials say people sometimes fail to think about the impact donated tissue has on not only the recipient but also the families of the donor. Mike Foley has the story of how one Central Ohio family's decision assisted so many people and gave the family an indescribable feeling.
