Sharing some uplifting thoughts on head/brain injury

Sharing some Information and Thoughts on Head and Brain Injury

Just sorting out some of my brain injury quotes (quite a “muddle/mission”)
enjoy these thoughts

https://craigsbooks.wordpress.com/category/inspirational-quotes/

“NO two brain injuries are the same”
“Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects and upsets life on multiple levels: physical, psychological, social, and even spiritual.”
“I do not bewail what I have lost, because I am at peace with myself. I have fought a hard battle, given it my best, and won far more that I or anyone else ever thought I would.”
https://craigsbooks.wordpress.com/2016/11/02/i-do-not-bewail-what-i-have-lost-because-i-am-at-peace-with-myself-i-have-fought-a-hard-battle-given-it-my-best-and-won-far-more-that-i-or-anyone-else-ever-thought-i-would-2/

Whilst the brain injury may significantly affect/impact many areas of your life…
“You are not defined by your traumatic brain injury”
and
“Don’t let your tbi define you!”
(thanks, m)

“Whilst you are not defined by your brain injury, your life may have been. Just work within the constraints of your TBI and around it, so that we never become a ‘victim’…

Finding hope in the face of loss

Sharing some Information and Thoughts on Head and Brain Injury

Webster’s dictionary defines hope as “to expect or wish… to be optimistic… to cherish a desire of good… with expectation of obtaining it or belief that it is obtainable…to place confidence in, to trust with confident expectation of good.”

I hadn’t thought much about the meaning of hope before my son Zach’s major brain injury while playing football, but with his prognosis of “death to full recovery or anything in between,” I hoped for his full recovery.
