THE BEGINNING

No one can pretend that life will go on as though an injury or accident has not happened. But we do know that it doesn't stop. The path that the brain injured survivor may now travel may be different from the one followed before the injury, but no less significant, no less dignified, and no less victorious.

This may be the end of our publication, but it actually represents the start of your journey. It is our hope that we have answered most of your questions, and given you the tools to ask more. We hope that you now possess the confidence and determination to become an active participant and can assist your loved one in locating pathways to reach his/her fullest potential. Finally, we hope that we have supported you and provided you with the strength and courage to continue your travels, with your loved one, along the uncertain, often complicated, but hopefully rewarding road to recovery.
