Be more than a TBI Survivor or Caregiver; be Thrivers.
Encourage one another to rise to the challenge and exceed expectations.
Never lose sight that life needs Purpose, and we all need a Sense of Value and Self-Worth.
A desire to contribute is essential and even necessary to motivate and be able to persevere.
As soon as Matt arrived home, we involved him in customary activities of daily living and social engagement. Early on, he helped cut up green peppers, husked corn, or made cookies for 5-10 minutes. Then, he started to set the table and fold laundry. We played familiar games, taught the rules again, and helped count or guide the placement of his piece. It was a slow go. Sometimes, he baled partway through because he was tired, lost interest, or his attention waned. However small, these baby steps enabled him to do more over time. It takes patience. Be an encouraging and cheer every contribution.
Sprinkled with moments for fun,
these activities and suggestions help rebuild the body, mind, and sense of self-worth.
