Book Description
The author, a clinical social worker, tells the story of how her personal and professional life was disrupted when she was struck by a car and sustained a traumatic brain injury. She describes how the injury impacted her physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and recounts her struggles to resume a meaningful life in the face of medical, financial, insurance, and legal problems. Days of Daze is a book of hope. When hit by a car during a noontime walk, the author, in a split second, loses her health, her job, and her image of herself as an intelligent and capable human being. As she struggles with the myriad complexities of her medical situation, she discovers a place within her that touches the divine, sustains her in hours of darkness, and illuminates the pathways of vibrant living. I highly recommend this gentle, gracious, and very readable book for anyone facing the uncertainties and complexities of life. Actually, I recommend it for everyone.--Reverend James McConnell, South Bend, Indiana Days of Daze provides us with a source of encouragement in the journey through the great difficulty and frustration of traumatic brain injury. The author reveals to us her coping skills and her growing inner courage as she shares her struggle with the perceived setbacks in the process of therapeutic acceptance.--Matthew Davis, M.D., psychiatrist, South Bend, Indiana Days of Daze shows how encountering a serious physical injury can be a profoundly enriching growth experience. It demonstrates that a well-lived life fully accepts each painful circumstance.--Judy Cassidy, Poet, Stevensville, Michigan

Book Description
In 2014, Lois Jean Thomas published her memoir entitled Days of Daze: My Journey Through the World of Traumatic Brain Injury, recounting the story of how she sustained a brain injury when struck by a car while crossing the street. In this follow up book, she describes her efforts to cope with her lingering brain injury challenges, exploring the long-term physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual impact on her life. Says Ms. Thomas, "This book is not meant to be an authoritative resource on the topic of traumatic brain injury. It is only my story. While people who sustain brain injuries may share many similar symptoms, no two injuries are exactly alike. Each traumatic brain injury impacts a distinctive personality and disrupts a particular lifestyle. And each TBI survivor develops his or her unique ways of coping with impairment."

Book Description
In 2010 my life changed forever. The teenage driver who struck me while I was cycling in my home town was barely old enough to shave. Bones were broken, flesh was torn and I entered the strange and surrealistic new world of traumatic brain injury. I started chronicling my journey as a brain injury survivor very early on with my first written piece completed a short 48 hours after my accident. The years continued to pass and I did what I do best, I wrote - often in painful and heartbreaking detail about my life's struggles as a brain injury survivor. But time passed and my journey became easier. Never easy, but easier. Looking back, I realized that I had an immense body of written work that offered a feel for what life is like as a true survivor. Each written piece is strong in its own right, but woven together as a collection, readers will come away with an insider's perspective about what life is really like for brain injury survivors and those who love them. There are three distinct segments in this volume, Learning to Crawl, Learning to Walk, and Learning to Soar. In Learning to Crawl, readers feel the pain of early life after traumatic brain injury redefines life. Learning to Walk demonstrates that the first few steps can be hard, but can indeed be mastered. In Learning to Soar, the magnificent reality that a meaningful life can be lived after a brain injury is revealed. Recovery from a traumatic brain injury cannot be measured in days, weeks or even months. Recovery is lifelong. No longer do I look at recovery as "getting back" to the life I once had. Rather, recovery to me is now defined as coexisting with my brain injury. I have slowly learned that there will be good days - days that I cherish, and there will be hard days - that will always pass. It is my hope that you will find hope in this volume of essays, that you may better understand the degree to which a brain injury affects not only the survivor, but all who know them. And that you will come away with a new belief that, though forever changed, a meaningful and fulfilling life after TBI is possible.

You can STOP SEARCHING for your 'spiritual path' because YOU'RE ON IT! This book contains observations and bits of awareness that I have gained from the hundreds of self-help and spiritually-focused guests I have had on my Bringing Inspiration To Earth Show. Some of the Insights include: * The Law of Dis-traction * It's All About ME ... and My Choices * Well, What Do You Expect? * Ungrateful So-and-So * Leave Your Judgments at the Door * Forget the So-Called 'Experts' * It's No Coincidence * In Your Dreams * Thank God for Unanswered Prayers Also included are 60 Actions I (and show guests) have taken to make life better and less stressful, based on those observations. Some may work for you, some may not. But even if there is ONLY ONE action that you take to improve your life experience, then the time you spend reading this book will have been worth while.

Book Description
“I did not want anyone to ever feel as disorientated and bewildered as I did.” Unlocking my Brain: Through the labyrinth of Acquired Brain Injury brings to life Christine’s personal experience of brain injury - from losing her vision and being unable to walk, talk or write, Christine regained her life, her thoughts and her career. In 1991 Christine was involved in a horrific car accident and suffered extensive injuries including Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). Unlocking my Brain shows the incredible plasticity of the human brain as well as the plasticity of the human spirit.

Determined to return to teaching, Christine developed and conducted over 4 000 Philosophy and Thinking workshops with her students and started her career as one of Australia’s most inspirational writers. At aged 67, despite her double vision, Christine obtained a PhD in Health Sciences and discovered even more effective ways to help people with brain injury help themselves.
