Life is different after a traumatic brain injury. In addition to all the physical changes a brain injury may bring, a traumatic brain injury can also mean the loss of a career or the disruption of an education. It can change your plans for the future, alter the way you meet and make friends, and affect the way you think about yourself. Life after a brain injury usually involves challenges, but that doesn't mean life is less valuable or fulfilling.
While everyone with a brain injury embarks on their own unique journey toward recovery, there are some common experiences that many people share -- experiences that can offer tremendous inspiration and support at various points in life.
