Another Fork in the Road: Norma Myers - Caregiver, Author, & Advocate

My guest tonight, Norma Myers, an author, an advocate for brain injury, and a mom, is going to talk about a horrific situation that happened in her life with her two sons. In 2012, her sons’ lives were changed forever when they were in a car accident together. The two men Steven 22, and Aaron 26, as young adults, were just embarking on their grown-up, independent lives with so much ahead of them when their paths took an upside-down turn. Every TBI survivor and caregiver has encountered a fork in the road that has diverted his or her life-plan. A car accident, a fall from the roof, doing one more chin-up, or a door literally slamming one in the face are just some causes of traumatic brain injury. College plans, walking down the aisle in the perfect dress, or the coveted job quickly slip from reality as dreams turn to struggle. These unexpected life-happenings that divert one from his or her chosen path in life can be devastating. But as Yogi Berra once said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." Life is all about choices! To learn more about me, please visit my blog and website.
