Synopsis

I wrote this book to help families who have a child with a traumatic brain injury. My daughter was involved in an accident, the severity of which changed her life and the lives of our family forever. During her accident, subsequent treatment, and recovery I found professional systems to be lacking in information and support.Technical medical expertise to keep Tania alive was available, but there was a shortage of awareness for the family's pain, helplessness and frustration. Information and resources that could have helped us cope better were either not available or easily assessable.Here is how this book can help you:Part One is Tania's story and mine which will give you insight into our journey.Part Two gives details on issues many of us face and solutions that are available to help.Part Three is a resource listing of helpful books and web sites.When I think of my experience as a mother of a traumatically brain injured child, despite the sadness I feel, I realize that I can take this seemingly worthless experience and create some meaning by helping families and professionals better deal with brain trauma with brain trauma.
