About the Book

This book addresses the other "casualties" of trauma and loss. It is a tool and guide designed to help the spouse and family members process the catastrophic event affecting their loved one. For Barbara, her husband's Traumatic Brain Injury left her emotionally paralyzed and physically drained until she devised a simple "sense-ability therapy" which she could implement at any time of the day or night. Barbara demonstrates how her "personal 911" experience evolved into a positive progression which piques the senses and strengthens the most forlorn spirit.
