Everything you need to know about Stroke Recovery
No one expects a catastrophic event to befall their family, especially on Christmas Day. One moment, life was normal, and in the next, Lori's family was completely and forever changed when her husband, Mark, suffered four strokes.
Surrounded by Love takes you on the rollercoaster journey of stroke recovery, both the physical and emotional aspects. This book is more than just a personal story; it's a practical guide for families facing a similar situation. Lori, with over 17 years of experience working with older adults and their families, sheds light on difficult topics often left unaddressed, including grieving a loved one who is still alive and how to thrive as a caregiver during a physically and emotionally demanding time.
“This book is a testament to love and faith, but also a beacon of hope for those facing the challenges of caring for a critically ill family member. My hope is that if you are on your own difficult journey caring for a disabled or critically ill loved one, you will find inspiration and practical guidance from my family's story.”
