Finding Yourself After Stroke: Young Stroke Survivors' Stories of Courage and Resilience
Finding Yourself After Stroke is a world-first compilation, featuring the stories of 26 young stroke survivors, whose lives have been suddenly and unexpectedly impacted by stroke.
The authors within candidly describe the moments that led up to their stroke event, diagnosis, rehabilitation, and how their life-experience and perception has changed post-stroke.
There are many physical and “hidden” challenges to navigate after stroke, such Aphasia, Dysphagia, Emotional Dysregulation, Executive Functioning, Hemiplegia, Identity Loss, Locked-In Syndrome, Nerve Damage, Neuro-fatigue, Pain, Relationships, Visual Impairment and much more…
While each stroke event and story within these chapters is unique, there is one common theme throughout - that your current circumstances do not determine your future, nor does your stroke define who you are.
Finding Yourself After Stroke is a valuable gift of connection, inspiration, hope and relatability to anyone on the post-stroke journey.
This book doubles as an insightful resource for medical students, acute care teams, stroke nurses, allied health rehabilitation therapists, neurology & cardiology specialists to provide a deeper understanding into the living experiences of their young stroke patients.
