How do you cope after your spouse has a stroke?

My son hired a patient advocate for us. She is helping me through the hurdles. I feel I need a support group locally. I'm in the early part of navigating all of these horrible changes. He has a long way to go to communicate. I'm trying to just take 1 day at a time. Thank you!

One day at a time is the only way to handle it.
For me, at first it was one *hour* at a time.
My caregivers initially told me that my recovery depended primarily on my determination and persistence. And let me tell you, they weren't kidding!
To find a local stroke support group, try here:

For general support:

Hang in there!
