Our Story Begins Here

Brain Injury Life began as an attempt to make sense of a journey shaped by survival, caregiving, and recovery after neurological trauma. What started as a deeply personal story between a father and daughter evolved into something more — a reflection on resilience, identity, and the long path of rebuilding life after brain injury.

This book brings together decades of lived experience navigating traumatic brain injury, stroke, seizures, and the quiet realities of life after neurological change. It was written to offer clarity, honesty, and hope to those walking a similar road.

Unlike traditional medical or clinical narratives, Brain Injury Life is grounded in lived experience. It blends storytelling with reflection and distilled insight drawn from real-world recovery. The book speaks not only to survivors, but also to caregivers, families, and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of life after neurological trauma.

At its heart, the book explores themes often left unspoken — isolation, identity loss, resilience, and the process of discovering a new normal after injury.

Our Work

More than a story, Brain Injury Life is an invitation to reflect, connect, and rediscover strength in the face of neurological trauma.

The Book

Brain Injury Life is both a memoir and a guide — a deeply human account of navigating survival, caregiving, and recovery over decades. Through shared storytelling, Adel and Sarah offer an honest window into the realities of life after brain injury and neurological trauma, illuminating both the struggles and the quiet victories along the way.

Our Story

Behind the book is a father-daughter journey shaped by resilience and transformation. Adel’s path evolved from survivor to caregiver, while Sarah’s journey grew from survivor to expert. Together, their shared experience forms the emotional core of the book and the foundation for everything that followed.

The Mission

What began as a story did not end with a book. Over time, the lessons within Brain Injury Life gave rise to a broader mission: helping survivors and caregivers rediscover connection and embrace a new normal after neurological trauma.

This mission continues through a growing effort dedicated to ending social isolation and supporting recovery through community and shared experience.

Guidance

Decades of lived experience revealed lessons that no textbook could teach. Brain Injury Life shares distilled insights for survivors and caregivers navigating the long arc of recovery. From adapting to life after injury to rebuilding identity and meaning, the book offers guidance shaped not by theory, but by life itself.
