A Stroke of Grace: A Guide to Understanding and Living With an Acquired Brain Injury - Paperback

by Julianne Heagy (Author)

Julianne Heagy experienced a stroke on May 21, 2019.

Following her stroke, she felt unsupported by the systems in place to care for post-stroke victims. She knew there were resources available but with an inability to hold a thought or comprehend written words, Julianne became frustrated with her search for information. Aside from her family doctor, she seemed to be alone in her struggle to find information about therapies, services and policies.

As Julianne began to heal, she could recall some of what she needed to know and committed to taking notes and sharing her findings with others on the same acquired brain injury path. This book is a roadmap of what Julianne learned on her journey.

It is Julianne's firm belief that everything in our lives happens for us and not to us. She wrote this book now because she found improvement in her health, peace, and joy and wanted to use her experience to help others.

The author's goal is to educate, empower and encourage others with an acquired brain injury. This book provides the information, easily and simply, for those struggling to ask the questions and find the resources.

"A Stroke of Grace is a bravely written book that is hard to put down! She provides an inspiring yet realistic roadmap for people with ABI (and for those who love them) to move forward into living life at its fullest and with grace." Kathleen Thompson, PhD, MSW, RSW
