Thanks for sharing your story! It’s incredibly comforting and informative. My father-in-law survived a series of strokes last year, also with aphasia. He’s recovered remarkably well, all things considered, and we are continuing with optimism. I’ve noticed he’s also depressed, angry, grieving, and constantly frustrated by his altered speech abilities. Which is all completely understandable. We are finding our way as family and always with love.

Debra, what are your top ‘Do’s and ‘Don’ts for care givers/loved ones/adult children of survivors? Specifically curious about compassionate boundaries, appropriate challenging, and understanding and nurturing the ongoing emotional impact.

Adam, what are top tips or effective communication tools you and your family could recommend to loved ones/care givers? Specifically around compassionate boundaries, and sharing your own emotions and experiences.

Thanks in advance for all you’ve shared so far! And for considering my questions. 🙏❤️
