At the age of forty-six, Brian survived a life-changing, near-fatal hemorrhagic stroke to the Pons area of his brainstem. The devastation left in its wake was unimaginable.
In 2011, at the time of his stroke, Brian and his family felt isolated and uncertain about their future. There were no easy reference books to turn to, and with no one to confide in, the future looked bleak. Having never been exposed to stroke before, everything was new and foreign to them. His family was unprepared for the emotional turmoil that followed.
Young Stroke Survivor
After a rollercoaster encounter and a close brush with death, his life was turned upside down. To the medical fraternity, he was just a statistic in a long list of diseases and was referred to as a ‘young stroke survivor.’
Abandoned
Soon after his stroke, Brian found himself abandoned and alone, forcing him to face the mammoth task of recovery by himself.
When trauma to the brain reveals its ugly head, it does so with vengeance and at an alarmingly fast speed, changing the lives of those close to the survivor in an instant. It strikes so swiftly that no one has the opportunity to plan for the future, and it is usually the immediate family and partners who are thrown in at the deep end, ultimately taking on the unrewarding role of caregiver.
