Morning, just remembered about this section of health unlocked.

I had a rare form of stroke in 2014 and highly recommended the Headway section here. Many people find more responses there 🙏

Hi Maylin

My stroke happened May 2016 and I have grieved for the me before the stroke. Now having come to accept what happened and moved on I am a different version of me. You deserve to be happy so give yourself a chance and live each day accepting you are not the same. You are still you and the people you love and are close to you can help.
