Brain Injury, Trauma, and Grief: How to Heal When You Are Alone

Winner in the Prescriptive/Informative category of the 13th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published E-book Awards A path to healing is possible with an honest approach. "Brain Injury, Trauma, and Grief offers hope, inspiration, and actionable tools to help you cope with the emotional strain of brain injury, heal grief and treat your neurons, and discover forgiveness, healing, and light in the darkness." - Self-Publishing Review Winner of the Writer's Digest Self-Published E-book Awards in the Prescriptive/Informative category and a finalist for the 2023 Word Awards in the Culture and Writer of Colour categories, Brain Injury, Trauma, and Grief is the self-help book people with brain injury have been waiting for.
Shireen Jeejeebhoy draws on her experience seeking treatments that heal neurons and post-traumatic stress disorder. She's researched a road map for people looking to recover from brain injury and the subsequent trauma and brain injury grief. Brain injury grief is barely addressed by health care professionals, but having personally experienced it and having to develop her own therapeutic process to heal, she provides step-by-step Action Plans to start the healing. Healing from a brain injury often focuses on strategies and rest, but what no one addresses is the other injuries -- the emotional trauma that accompanies the aftermath of living with a brain injury -- and the effect of not healing the neurons. Loneliness persists even when surrounded by people.
One traumatic event or a series changes an expected future. Family and friends experience the initial trauma as well, but how they experience it can lead to modifying their behaviour around their injured loved one, consciously or subconsciously pulling away, or not having the tools or wherewithal to help them cope through the isolation and deep feelings of loss. Jeejeebhoy understands what people are really looking for is recovery that's true recovery.
This brilliant and compassionate map - a complement to Jeejeebhoy's memoir Concussion Is Brain Injury: Treating the Neurons and Me and the related website - offers hope, inspiration, and actionable tools to help people with brain injury cope with the emotional strain of brain injury, heal their grief and treat their neurons, and discover forgiveness, healing, and light in the darkness. Open the book, and step onto the road to reclaiming your life today!
