The Complexity of Ambigious Loss

Sharing some Information and Thoughts on Head and Brain Injury

” A Fractured Journey”

Something came flooding over me today like a tidal wave. For a few moments, I lost my footing. I found my mind trapped in the tumultuous waters of ambiguous grief, fighting my way to the surface.

My/our story is a bit crazy (unique it appears) and has had a huge toll on the family, but if our experiences help others in any way, I’m very happy…

but am still riding “the bumps of life” on the roughest roads in the world…without a saddle on a/my “bucking bronco”.
