You have a brain injury. Your whole life has been upended. You want to scream at the world. Go ahead and scream. Scream and yell and stamp your feet and . . . do it again. Then breathe! It seems hard to find anything good about your life being turned upside down. Life as you knew it is gone. A new life has taken its place. Now what? You still have choices - wallow in sadness for a life stripped away or with attitude and gratitude a new life awaits.


Every TBI survivor and caregiver has encountered a fork in the road that has diverted his or her life-plan. A car accident, a fall from the roof, doing one more chin-up, or a door literally slamming one in the face are just some causes of traumatic brain injury. College plans, walking down the aisle in the perfect dress, or the coveted job quickly slip from reality as dreams turn to struggle. These unexpected life-happenings that divert one from his or her chosen path in life can be devastating. But as Yogi Berra once said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." Life is all about choices! To learn more about me, please visit my blog and website.
