Thanksgiving Special Part Four

This week and next on Beyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke, we take a moment to look back before venturing forward. Over the past year, we’ve been privileged to publish forty-four individual stories. Each guest has spent an average of seven weeks working one-on-one with Beyond Stillness to reflect on the wisdom gained through their recovery and craft a story to inspire fellow survivors.

In this season of thanksgiving, we’ve compiled a snippet of recovery wisdom or gratitude from each guest. Their courage to pause, reflect, and share their journey speaks volumes about the strength of the human spirit. It’s through their vulnerability and resilience that others find hope, connection, and healing.

I’m deeply honored to live and work in your presence and humbled by the Beyond Stillness community that has flourished this past year. Together, we offer our experiences to uplift and inspire one another. As Chris Wilder said in his story, “We are part of something greater.” For that, and for each of you, we are profoundly grateful.


Community Conversation Prompts:

• When reflecting upon your recovery, for whom are you grateful?  Why?
• How could you show and/or tell them this week?
