Overview

Find out more about Traumatic Brain Injury through the eyes of a survivor. Find out what it feels like to be looking from the inside out. Some of what you will read about in this book is not available in any other books. Once exposed to TBI, the family and partner normally take on the unrewarding role of caregiver, never considering for a second that they don't have any formal training. Diving headfirst into a situation they know very little about, they may find themselves in the deep end, having bitten off more than they can chew. Informal caregiving is a relentless and demanding job with little to no reward. It is a role taken on out of love, unconditional love for the person they are caring for. The limits of many relationships get tested and pushed to their limits. Few can endure such an extreme challenge. I wrote this book to help enlighten the informal-caregiving family about what they can expect. You will find tips on making things easier for your loved ones and yourself. You will have a better understanding of why they behave the way they do. Learn about what each therapist does and why it's so important that they attend all those therapy sessions. Want to know if support groups are for you? Learn more about them and how they can help you all to let off some steam without resorting to the boxing ring. Confused by the language the doctors are speaking? Don't be. Our layperson's explanations of the Neuro terminology will help you understand their language. Those blank stares will be the past.
