DA-EXP-402 :   
Gloria Vega

Gloria Vega consented to donation after her teenage son was declared brain dead, but prolonged donor management and the absence of a clear recovery timeline have pushed her to the edge of her coping capacity. She is now considering rescinding authorization, not because she no longer values donation, but because the waiting feels unbearable. The advocate must be transparent about delays, validate her right to stop the process, and support honest family discussion without becoming persuasive.

• Supporting a family at the point of authorization rescission without becoming persuasive or coercive
• Being transparent about process delays and realistic timelines, including when the advocate does not have full control over scheduling
• Navigating disagreement between two decision-making parents without taking sides
• Validating a family's right to withdraw consent at any point in the process
• Distinguishing between a family's values (wanting something meaningful) and their capacity to continue enduring the process
