Default Loss of Affection

I have been dealing with the same thing, except my husband seems to look right through me. I can tell he still loves me, but it's not like before his accident. He has been recovering remarkable well and at a faster rate since his m/c accident on 3/9/11. He no longer needs speech therapy, occupational therapy, or physical therapy. He is back at work light duty & was cleared to drive. On Wednesday it will be 13 weeks. He's almost back and it does hurt like H*** to love someone with all your heart and see them going through such an ordeal. All I can do is pray, have faith, and be patient that he will come back. The hardest thing to accept is the fact the brain is not like any organ in the body and just takes longer to heal. I miss his "i miss u" texts & his "wanting to hear my voice" calls, and I do cry almost every day because it is hard.

This has brought us closer, but I still feel he doesn't emotional understand what I have been through.

I pray for your strenght and for any person who cares for a loved one w/TBI.
