There were no conversations of quality of life or anything like that. This was only life and death!”
Despite the tireless efforts of medical professionals, Hannah’s brain suffered critical damage that left her without hope of recovery.
‘Endless walk’
Before Hannah’s final goodbye on November 10, 2024, she was honored with a traditional “Honor Walk,” a touching tribute as she was taken to the operating room for organ donation.
About 300 people lined the walls of the hallway for the walk, her family by her side until their “final goodbye.”
It seemed like an endless walk, yet it was also going too quickly,” David shared.
‘Good to have her home’
“We went and picked up Hannah’s cremated remains. It was and is a strange mix of emotions. There is still a strong sense of disbelief,” David writes in a November 22, 2024 Facebook post. “Having now, this physical, tangible, memorial of her physical life and body is nice, in one sense, because we now have something to see and to ‘hold on to,’ but it is also very sad because this is certainly not the same relationship that we had before. But, then again, it is good to have her home.”
Now her parents are reminding people with food allergies to “Always be aware. Make sure your EpiPens are up to date,” David said.
Hannah’s organs have already saved four people who desperately needed lifesaving transplants.
Hannah Glass’s story is a poignant reminder of how fragile life can be and the importance of food allergy awareness. Her memory lives on not only through the lives she saved but in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
