*Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is more common than you might think. In some years, more than 2 million such injuries are recorded and treated. In fact, 30 percent of all injury-related deaths involve traumatic brain injury.
*This small but valuable book identifies keys to living with a person who suffered a traumatic brain injury. The information is not intended to be medical advice and does not address every aspect of TBI. But you will find helpful insights from someone who lives with a TBI individual.

*There are comments from family members and caretakers, as well as information that shines a light on an injury that can be life-changing for everyone concerned.

*The keys include ways to accept TBI as part of your life, as well as information on how anger can be a major issue with the TBI individual and family members.

*The reader will find details on how learning takes place after TBI, in addition to the importance of repetition and consistency. There are even comments on how some people hold a negative view of the injured person.

*At the end of the book, you will find names of organizations that focus on traumatic brain injury. There are a few websites on the list, along with the names of some volunteer organizations.

This is my first non-fiction book. It's based on my experiences living with my new wife and her son Chris. He suffered a traumatic brain injury in 1997. I am retired after 30 years as an editor and reporter for various newspapers and magazines. I also have a book of poetry, Big Medicine for Lost Children.

We live in Southern Illinois.

This book is a man’s account of his step-son’s injury and life. He speaks a lot about other family members and what their thoughts are as it relates to this young man’s TBI.
It isn’t a book I’d really recommend as there aren’t really tips. More common sense items like have patience and give reminders. I guess it wasn’t a book I personally felt was helpful.

Excellent Book

This is a very well written book that lays out important information about living and interacting with someone with TBI. Too often, people simply do not have enough knowledge about this issue, and do not know how to relate to the person with TBI. This book stresses the point that someone with TBI is still the same person in many ways. This is a valuable resource for those in this situation, but also for the general public as we should all strive to treat each other with the utmost respect. Dr. Julie Hale Maschhoff

I read this book and discovered what dedication this family has for their loved one, Chris.
This book is written by his family and it is very simple to read.
They are all very lucky to have Chris to teach them patience and other keys.
Most of all, Chris is very lucky and blessed to have a mother like Alice.
I recommend this book to anybody that has the challenge of taking care of someone with TBI.
