Communication can become a big challenge after a brain injury - which affects all relationships, but especially the ones that are closest to us. So let’s talk about communication in relationships & marriage after brain injury! We also have a podcast spotlight with Dr. Jeremy Schmoe sharing some of the neurological reasons why communication can be hard after a brain injury.
Whether you are a survivor, family member, single, or married, there is something in this episode to encourage and uplift you, and practical communication tips that can help us all to maintain better relationships post-injury. You are not alone!
Join our host, Cristabelle Braden, as she introduces 2 panelists: Tameka Wolfe and Rob Baugh. Tameka not only is the leader of Hope For Couples support group, but also currently serves as Vice President of the Hope Survives Board of Directors. Rob is a member of our Brain Injury Advisory Council and serves as a team lead for the Hope Ambassador Team. They each bring a unique perspective to marriage after brain injury - Tameka will share from the spouse’s perspective, and Rob will share from the survivor’s perspective. They will share their experiences with how communication changed in their respective relationships after the brain injury, as well as practical tips and strategies that have helped them. We also dive into the balance of navigating ambiguous loss and grief for relationship changes, while also maintaining hope and embracing the journey with your partner.
