Totally. I think it's way more public and visible... That said, this is a decision that family has to make at an incredibly stressful, confusing, and emotional time. It may be something that you've thought a lot about, but if family members haven't had a chance to think through this scenario it can be a really disarming and terrifying decision to be presented with... especially if it's not one that they'd ever make for themselves.

Some of the folks I talked to touched on anecdotes where even though the family was 'aware', there's still a lot of potential for hesitation if they're not absolutely sure that it's something you've thought about and have conviction behind.

I think stickers and Fb flags are great, but these conversations are really the best way to ensure your decision is carried out.. and they have the added benefit of really making people internalize and think about organ donation very seriously.
