"This is a moving tribute to a brother's struggle with TBI; a harrowing account of the inadequacies of the service systems to provide the needed support; told through the eyes of a loving sister who is also a psychologist. It makes the book unique." - Professor Grahame Simpson, Brain Injury Rehabilitation Research Group, Ingham Institute, Australia."This is a sad story and one that should never have needed to be told. I applaud the author for showing real bravery and writing an honest and frank account of the events which ultimately lead to tragedy." - Hilary Dicks, Former CEO of Headway Somerset, UK."This book is essential for those in contact with people with brain injuries to help them develop insight into the complexity of this hidden disability. While not for the faint hearted, family members may find this book helpful to make sense of their own story, and trauma and loss they have experienced following brain injury." - Charlotte Whiffin, Senior Lecturer, Debry University, UK. "This book is a truly candid portrayal of life after brain injury, narrated with both personal and professional accounts. Highlighted is the stark reality and consequences individuals and their relatives face when services are not integrated and responsive." - Freya Suffield, Hospital Liaison Officer."This book is an important addition to the range of ABI literature. It offers a unique rounded perspective - combining the immediate personal story of one man with ABI with the wider context of his family story alongside a professional analysis and perspective. It will be a vital source for families and professionals alike." - Liz Simmons, CEO Headway Somerset, UK.
