Brain Injury Life
The story behind the book...
What began as a deeply personal story of a father and daughter’s journey through healing and recovery after brain injury and neurological trauma grew into a shared mission. That mission is to help survivors and caregivers navigate life after stroke, brain injury, and seizures. Through lived experience, resilience, and reflection, Brain Injury Life explores the realities of healing and the search for a new normal, deeper meaning, and connection after trauma.
Our Story
Adel and Sarah are a father-daughter team shaped by decades of lived experience with traumatic brain injury and acquired neurological trauma. Adel’s journey evolved from survivor to caregiver, while Sarah’s path led from survivor to expert, earning a PhD in Psychology focused on neurorehabilitation and social isolation. Together, they formed a bond forged through resilience, learning, and purpose.
Their story spans brain injury, stroke, seizures, and the long road of rebuilding identity after life-changing trauma. Through years of perseverance, reflection, and growth, they transformed lived experience into insight that support others walking a similar path.
Our Mission
The story of Brain Injury Life became the beginning of a larger purpose: helping survivors and caregivers rediscover connection and embrace a new normal after neurological trauma.
