The brain makes us who we are. It shapes our personality. It processes our experiences. It regulates emotions. When the function of the brain’s ability to process information is damaged, there is no deeper presence of surrender possible—and no stronger need for loving care. This is my story of healing from a traumatic brain injury—a terribly tragic event that gave me a renewed mission for life. It’s a recovery story not yet concluded, but one of significance in marking milestones up until this point.
