What happens when life as you know it changes in an instant?

Brain Recovery – A Journey of Hope

Written by Laura Stoicescu

Brain Recovery – A Journey of Hope shares the powerful story of recovery and self-discovery, where a learning mindset plays a critical role in creating new neural pathways after a stroke.

We often take life for granted, assuming we can control our goals, future, and destiny. But what if one day, everything turns upside down? Imagine going to bed with a migraine and waking up in a hospital’s intensive care unit. You discover you’ve suffered a major stroke and can no longer remember your birthday, the current date, or even the year.

Written by Laura Stoicescu, a DSRS member and Peer Volunteer, this book captures the emotional and physical journey of rebuilding a life. It is a story of ups and downs, struggles and successes, told with honesty and hope. Through detailed chapters, readers will explore the challenges, breakthroughs, and achievements that come with recovery, offering insights for:

  • Brain injury survivors

  • Family members and friends

  • Healthcare professionals

 

Overcoming adversity takes hard work, determination, and unwavering support from loved ones and medical teams. Most importantly, it requires courage to trust in the recovery process – to believe you can live life again with grace and ease, one step at a time, one day at a time.

"Having a stroke really sucks. But the more we take shortcuts in recovery, the less actively we use our brain -- and the more it can hinder our recovery. Recovery is a marathon, not a sprint. It is a lifelong activity -- so keep up your good work!"
