Summary: A book that will change your life!
Comment: Nothing I have ever read has touched me more than this book. Someone I love and respect very much was struck down by a brain injury in August 2000. I felt alone, confused, at a loss as to how to help or deal with this changed version of the person I had known and loved. Cathy Crimmins' humor, honesty and knowledge have become a beacon of hope, as trite as that sounds, for me and many of my friends also affected by this situation. We are not alone. We are not losing our minds. We too can survive our loved one's brain injury and find a level of quality, contentment and happiness with this changed person. We know this now, thanks to Cathy Crimmins.

Summary: A Wonderful Book
Comment: This is a wonderful book. I read it in one sitting and found myself moved to tears many times. The book shares the experience of coping with a loved one's severe brain injury and recovery process. It deals with what it's like to be with someone whose personality, whose "self," has been altered and in many ways diminished. The book explores the question: What does it mean to love someone? We have the idea that we love another person, particularly our spouse, based on the totality of who that person is: character, personality, our shared experiences with them, etc. This memoir gives lie to that notion. In reality, loving is the process we go through in being with and caring for another person. I am grateful to Cathy Crimmins for allowing me to be reminded of this truth without having to experience the lesson first-hand.

Summary: It opened my eyes and warmed my heart
Comment: When someone close to you suffers an accident, and ends up in a hospital bed in a coma, the world around you collapses. This happened to us on April 6th 2003, when Mickey was involved in a car accident and was in a coma for over 2 months.
This book has been incredibly helpful. It contains a lot of priceless information, information you CAN understand, complementing it with loads of personal experiences.
Thanks to the very easy language (it can be read as a novel) it has allowed everyone in my family to understand and accept the choices and changes we wnet though and are still going through with a TBI survivor. It has also helped us understand and help Mickey in his recovery process.
I have cried and laughed on endless nights with this book.
I have underlined passages and read them over and over (something I dont do very often)
I have shared this book with the rest of my family, friends, Mickeys friends and caregivers and even some doctors....
Thank you Cathy Crimmins for helping US stay confident, focused, and happy....
This book opened my eyes and warmed my heart.
To anyone going through this terrible ordeal... there IS HOPE at the end. Dont despair!
