When someone we love gets hurt the first question is “are they going to survive”? When everything is done to save their life and the doctor says “they are going to live”, a sense of relief overwhelms the family. This is the beginning of a new chapter in a family’s life.
From the beginning it’s clear that an injury affects the whole family, especially when it’s as serious as an acquired brain injury. There are so many questions and not enough answers. This booklet will not provide all the answers but will serve as a guide for families new to acquired brain injury.
This material is geared towards children ages 5 to 10 years old that have a sibling or a parent with an acquired brain injury. It is designed to be interactive in order to help children relate the information to their own thoughts and feelings. The “Parents Only!” section is designed to give parents some ideas about how to help their children understand what is happening in their family.
The “In the Words of Survivors” section contains comments from people who have had acquired brain injuries. These quotes may help you understand what their struggles, experiences and hopes for the future are.
