Ashamed (Anxiety 4 of 8)

The idea of having my own pancreas, having a bionic ‘pancreas’, and even getting the opportunity to have a working pancreas makes me feel ashamed. The pink pancreas represents my bionic pancreas (insulin pump) and the red and yellow pancreas a new, working pancreas.  I feel anxious that someone must lose their life for me to have a second chance at life. I feel a deep sense of shame for wanting a second chance at life.
