Two years ago, my husband suffered a hemorrogic stroke at the age of 41. The emotional and physical devastation affects him and me, as well as on our 2 small children. Being a caregiver of a young stroke survivor with a growing family impacts so many aspects of our lives. The financial impact alone is overwhelming. Though my husband is making a relatively good recovery, and I'm so glad he's still here, I sometimes still find myself grieving the loss of some things and have difficulty coming to terms with the "new normal". Recovery is at a snails pace, and many things are uncertain. The fragility of life has never been more evident.
