Spending #NationalBookLoversDay reading this amazing memoir. A tough read for me as so many things parallel my husband's experiences since his acquired brain injury 8 years ago. I encourage everyone to read this - she does an amazing job of really helping you feel the loneliness & frustration involved in a health condition that people don't 'see'. 'But you look so good!' is something my husband hears all the time. 😩 #ABI #TBI #invisibleinjury
UglyOldBat Yep I get told that all the time but my body hates me 7y
coffeenebula I feel you. My husband has had 4 strokes since 2014. It's so frustrating and tiring. 😞 7y
CuriousG @coffeenebula Wow! That must be utterly depleting/discouraging to experience that again and again. Sending you both my positive thoughts and hoping that you are able to find some joy in your time together. I have no doubt your lives have changed drastically in the last 3 years! 💟 7y
CuriousG @abandonallhope It must be very frustrating to have people minimize your struggles by saying that (even if it isn't intentional on their part, it still hurts). I hope you are able to find some things that help you feel more at peace with your body and less like it is fighting you. You're doing a great job already....I know this because you obviously like books and go on Litsy! Books heal our souls 💛 7y
UglyOldBat Thank you 💜 7y
