Life After Stroke
After more than 30 years of helping stroke survivors and their caregivers in BC we have learned some vital lessons that we want to share with you:
1. Never give up hope and never stop trying. We have seen with our own eyes that being determined to get better makes a big difference. You may never fully recover but you can keep on improving.
2. There is life after stroke. Many stroke survivors go on to have successful and enjoyable lives. They learn to make the most of the abilities they have.
3. Support is very important. Family and friends play a huge role. The support of other stroke survivors and their understanding and encouragement really helps. Caregivers also need support.
4. You need to set goals. As long as you achieve some of them you are moving in the right direction. If you fail then break your goals down into smaller steps.
5. Never give up hope and never stop trying. We can’t say that often enough!
