it certainly is but requires resolve understanding and a huge amount of patience and love

after an injury life will change a lot but if there is true love and care work at it both of you the injured party its important not to look and sound like a victim my part before my injyury i was madly in love and engaged a year after i decided i probably wont work again and released my fiancee from hr obligations towards me my best decision she now happy as for me i am lonley and miss her madly every day but we speak daily laugh and never ever bitch she lives in spain me in uk good luck neil

Nick, all of our stories are different in many ways and the ways which we are affected by them on a day to day basis. Feel free to read about me further-more ask questions, via e-mail or however. I know that no matter how many friends, family, councillors and medical staff that we have around us we still get lonely and desire the companionship, comfort, hugs, kisses and contact which only a romantic partner can give, I feel lonely and was wondering the same question over the past few weeks.

I have had 2 GFs since the accident and know that it is possible, as an illustration look at Steven Hawkings, he is in a wheel-chair, cant speak (unaided), barlet move and he has had relationships, some stories about his relationships circling the net and in an effort not to be libelous will leave it there. If two people click and have an understanding then surely it should always get better but oyu might have to kiss a few frogs before finding your princess.

It is possible to be in a relationship after this! and maintain it to. Besides you will have some good conversation points. Maybe get on the dating websites and detail what you are looking for as friends maybe more, see what happens.

I know this is a most belated reply, but felt that I had to cast the bright light of optimism your way and tell you that myself and my boyfriend have been together for 6 years.

I had my brain injury before I met him and he has been the most amazing support i've ever had. Pretty much comes with me to all my appointments and 2 months ago he came with me to my 1st headway support group meeting, so it was a 1st for us both.

So as you can probably guess where i'm going with this. Yes I do a believe a relationship is possible after brain injury.

Bless him, I put him through hell sometimes ( and can't help it either although I try desperatley not too !!) but I think the secret or trick or key element, whatever you want to call it. Is meeting someone who you connect with and has the patience, open mindedness and humour to learn and understand our different ways.
