A 46-year-old woman, Sharon Fidel from Israel shared a heartbreaking video of herself burying her old heart on her Facebook page
Sharon Fidel who almost died of cardiac arrest got a second chance at life three months ago after she received the heart of a 16-year-old who died in a car crash.
She is seen in the video digging a hole for her old organ. Her hand trembled so much, it took several attempts before she could remove the heart from the bucket before placing it in the hole she already dug.
In a message alongside the video, she wrote: “Thank you, beloved, loveable, man who saved my life"
Speaking to Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, Ms Fidel said: "Everything is authentic in the film, and I trembled when I put the heart into the ground. I believe that, additionally, the excitement and fear of attempting to really touch the organ and pick it up – all those things caused the trembling. It was very scary."
