Bøger af Amy Zellmer

Surviving Brain Injury: Stories of Strength and Inspiration is a collection of stories that were contributed by almost 90 brain injury survivors from across the world - all brought together by an invisible injury that affects so many, yet isn't understood by the majority of people. Most of these contributors might not have the opportunity to share their story otherwise. This book is a much needed resource for other survivors and caregivers so they can realize they are not alone in this journey - that there are others out there just like them who have made remarkable strides in their recovery. These stories offer strength and inspiration to fellow survivors and help others understand the journey they go through (and are often brushed aside because of). By offering understanding, we can create awareness and compassion.

The impact briefly knocked her out, and when she started to get up, she immediately knew something was very wrong.

This book is a sequel to Life With a Traumatic Brain Injury: Finding the Road Back to Normal, and is a collection of her short articles, which were originally published on HuffttPost.

In February 2014 Amy Zellmer slipped on a patch of ice and fell, forcibly landing on the back of her skull. The impact briefly knocked her out, and when she started to get up, she immediately knew something was very wrong. Amy had suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and was about to start a journey unlike anything she had ever experienced. Her life had changed in literally a blink of the eye. This book is a collection of her short articles, most of which were originally published on The Huffington Post. Learn about what it means to have a TBI as you read about her struggles and frustrations, like the days she can't remember how to run the microwave, or how she gets lost driving to familiar places. Understand what it's like to suffer fatigue and exhaustion after doing a simple task that most take for granted. This book is perfect for TBI survivors, their caregivers, friends and loved ones. It is a great book for survivors to give to their supporters so that they, too, can understand what those with TBI are dealing with on a daily basis. "Amy's book not only offers insight and details on brain injuries, but it also sheds light on an often-over looked and misunderstood issue. As a traumatic brain injury survivor, it gives me hope that one day the traumatic brain injury community will finally get the recognition and help it needs." Ali Wallace, Miss Oregon 2015 & TBI survivor
