Brain Trauma is Very Real.

According to the CDC, Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability in the United States. In 2014, an average of 155 people in the United States died each day from injuries that include a TBI. Those who survive a TBI face effects that can last a few days, or the rest of their lives. Some effects of TBI include cognitive impairments, balance, vision and hearing changes, as well as behavioral and personality changes. 

These issues not only affect the survivors, but also their loved ones. According to the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD is a mental health problem that can develop in an individual after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event.  Combine this with the effects of a traumatic brain injury, and a family can be ripped to pieces without the tools to manage the stress of these two maladies.

You’re in the right place

If these issues resonates with you, you’re in the right place. I’m here to tell you, there is hope. Hope coming from the Word of God, Biblical encouragement for your frustration as you live through the daily challenges of life after a brain injury.

A bit about me

Surviving a spinal cord injury, a mildTBI and a mild case of post-traumatic stress disorder, I empathize with you.  I know what it is to live personally with my own behavior change, as well as with someone who has post-concussion syndrome. As an Inductive Bible Study leader, I have the insight to reach into the Word of God for the scripture I need to encourage my soul and the souls of others as we walk this journey of the TBI/SCI/PTSD marriage. 

An Invitation

I invite you to join me in this community of spouses and families who deal with these specific life struggles. As we lean into what the Bible says, we will gain a new perspective on our situations. I look forward to our time together as we “walk” this journey together. Will you join me?
