I’m frustrated, trying to find a certain article in this list, I can’t. I’ve scrolled through the list three times. Hard to do with TBI. Im looking for the print version of article you sent in video form on 2-27: TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY & TRANSITION.
One of the problems I have from my TBI makes it hard for me to get as much out of your videos as I do from the written articles. I can’t keep up with videos, TV shows, etc, as most normal speed talking is too fast for me to process everything.
I’d like to be able to read this article, & have just gotten too frustrated trying to find it on the long list. It would be nice if you had a way to search for a specific article. When I searched on the one place I did found, I just got the video again. SIGH.
Second Chance to Live said
Hi Judy,
Thank you so very much for taking the time to write to me. In my experience, some people learn better through reading and some people learn better through watching and listening. That is why I have made video presentations of some of my articles. In the future I will include links to the written article in my video presentation to make accessing the written article easier. All is good. I am sorry that you experienced frustration in the process of locating the article. I can completely understand as I also have a difficult time locating one of my articles in my Site Map at times too Judy.
On the front page of Second Chance to Live I have a Search Box that can be used to enter the title of the article or search terms that are included in articles that I have written. I have moved this Search Feature from below my Most Recent articles to above my Most Recent articles in my right side bar Judy. Thank you for bringing this to my attention as I moved the Search box to where it is more visible.
My experience is that when using my Search Box there are many articles with Traumatic Brain Injury in their titles. Consequently, after entering the title of the article into the Search box and clicking Search, you may need to click on previous articles several times before you come to the page that has the exact article title. I know this may sound confusing Judy. Consequently, I would love to give you a call and explain the process if you would send me your phone #. I am learning to my friend.
I have included a copy of the article Traumatic Brain Injury and Transition below my friend. In the event that you would like to read the article on Second Chance to Live I will include a link to the article Judy. By clicking on the title here Traumatic Brain Injury and Transition the article will open for you.
Traumatic Brain Injury and Transition
Hi, and welcome back to Second Chance to Live. I am so glad you decided to stop by and visit with me. You are always welcome at my table. I received a comment today from a parent of a son who experienced a traumatic brain injury several months ago. She wanted to thank me for the material I wrote in yesterday’s post, Traumatic Brain Injury and Limitation. I have been thinking about her comment and wanted to share some reflective thoughts with you. My motivation is to encourage you to be gentle with your process.
After I became aware of the significance of my brain injury, I went through a grieving process. I wanted to deny the significance of the injury to my brain. I then spent time being angry over what I became powerless over, my limitations and deficits. I then spent time attempting to disprove to myself and to other people the significance of how my brain injury impacted my world. When I realized that I was indeed disabled because of my brain injury I went through an extensive period of depression and sadness.
Please understand that the conclusions and the encouragement that I share in Second Chance to Live did not come over night. I transitioned through a tremendous amount of discouragement, disappointment and emotional heart ache over the years before I was able to embrace what I share with you. Please read My Motivation . I still have my times of discouragement and depression, but I realize that I have a future and a hope. I have come to realize that the dark clouds pass with time.
When I reached the stage of acceptance in my grieving process I began to accept myself. The process of accepting who I am – as a person who is a traumatic brain injury survivor – helped me to stop fighting against myself. The process of grieving the loss of my dreams, hopes and expectations released me to live in the now. When I let go of how I thought my life was supposed to look my eyes slowly opened to reveal my reality.
Accepting my reality has given me a new hope, released me to dream again and has given me the courage to trust that I will be given what I need and that I will fulfill my destiny. When I was able to accept my reality I was able to begin looking for solutions in spite of being a traumatic brain injury survivor. Through my process, I have learned to take advantage of the opportunities that become available to me. Although I may not have the big picture, I have learned to feel my feelings, to trust the process and to trust a loving God who cries with me when I cry.
I have also come to realize that the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Determination, persistence and tenacity have become my close friends. I no longer see my limitations as a limitation. My deficits have become the possibilities of my creativity. My disappointments are being turned into my dreams. I am encouraged to learn from my present circumstances because I know that they are leading me to my destiny.
I would encourage you to grieve the loss of your dreams, your hope’s and your expectations. Those loses are very real. Denying what has changed because of your traumatic brain injury survivor will only protect you for a time. Your anger is justified by what you can not understand. I have been there too my friend. I have felt like a man in a very dark room attempting to find the switch to turn on the lights. Your sadness is warranted and welcomed through your experience. You will learn to use your anger for good.
The good news is that you will find your switch and you will learn to thrive. You will learn to use your gifts, talents and abilities to fulfill your dreams. You do not have to compare your journey with anyone’s journey. You are on a road of wonder and you will find your way. Please read my post, Following your bliss…regardless. You are learning wonderful lessons my friend. Those lessons are preparing you to fulfill the dreams you have always had in your heart. Take comfort my friend, more will be revealed.
I will say so long for now. Have a pleasant and rewarding day and God bless you and your family Judy.

Craig…
It has been a few years since we communicated.
It excites me to see how focused you have remained, and what a prolific soldier you remain, in the battle to spread info, and therefore hope.
A good writer you are! You are covering and sharing all phases of your plan for healing, and I salute you.
Later, Craig~

Hi Vito,
Thank you Sir for your thoughts and thank you for what you are doing with virtual dogs to help empower TBI survivors. God bless you in your work Vito. Yes, I am seeking to provide information to help empower individuals to heal in a holistic way — emotionally, spiritually and physically. I am doing the footwork — as I feel led — and trusting God with the outcomes. Only He has the big picture Vito and the ability to move the pieces of the puzzle into the correct order and at the right time. I will say so long for now. Have a great day and God bless you Vito.
