ED,

I know the feeling. I have experienced it many times over the past 48 years since my first life-changing concussion. When I look back, I can see the losses to how I functioned. But, I continued on with a number of successful businesses that I tailored to my brain's needs. I have been married 33 years and raised 3 successful kids.

Sure, part of us may have died but we did not die. We can go on. Fortunately, the understanding of living with concussion related deficits is light years ahead. Nobody understood my struggles from 1955 to 1971. In '71, understanding was in it's infancy, but it was a start.

My best to you.
