What an inspiration!
But the brave lady vowed to bounce back and live her life in the most positive way possible. Here, she tells us her sad and inspirational story.
For nine months I worked hard to improve my speech aphasia , and I grappled with short-term memory loss, just like Dory in Finding Nemo. A friend told me, “You’re still you, but sometimes you’re just delightfully ditzy.”A black curtain had come down in my brain – I couldn’t say the right words or remember the right things. I knew I couldn’t return to the work I loved, talking for a living as a strategic planner.
I waved my hands in front of his face and his eyes remained fixed, staring ahead. He mumbled my name, but he deteriorated in the ambulance and he forgot his address, his family and even who I was.“How could this have happened?” I thought, shocked, disbelieving and anxious about our future. I needed to dig deep and explore my faith in a way I never had before.
While Clayton’s memory was shot to pieces, there were bigger worries still. The bleed on his brain had also affected his mobility. He’d never live alone – if he fell, his fragile brain wouldn’t recover. When I asked the doctor if he’d ever make a full recovery from his catastrophic brain injury, he said, “He will have challenges for the rest of his life.”
I wrote Jenn a heartfelt email, pouring my love and emotion onto the blank page. Life isn’t all fluffy clouds and rainbows – I felt raw. My best friend had died, my fiancé was in rehab, and my sons were leaving to work in Australia. I was losing so much, but I had to focus, become mindful and change my outlook in life.
