About the Author
As a spokesperson for families of survivors of brain injury and founder and past President of the Brain Injury Association of Florida, Carolyn Rocchio is internationally recognized for her compassion and expertise.
In this new book, Carolyn Rocchio finally tells the personal story of her family’s journey after her son, Tim, sustained a brain injury in a car crash as a young adult. Chronicling his progress over more than 20 years, she describes the many stages of his recovery along with the complex emotions and the changing dynamics of her family and their expectations.
This is more than a personal story. As a columnist for TBI Challenge! and for Brain Injury Source, popular publications of the Brain Injury Association of America, Ms. Rocchio has written many articles for families and professionals on the consequences of brain injury and finding meaning in life after brain injury. These articles have been collected and updated for this book. They address the need cited by so many families for practical information as they struggle to answer the question of "Now what?"
There are over 35 articles on specific topics ranging from health and medical care to rehabilitation issues, community resources, helping children, planning for the future, and mental health. This is an incredibly comprehensive collection of concise but practical articles that are simply not available elsewhere.
Carolyn’s list of achievements, honors and publications is lengthy – but what you will find in this book is the voice of a mother who knows first hand about the compassion, endurance, hope and determination needed to move forward after brain injury.
