Aban’s Accension

To the author’s credit, avoids religiosity and preachiness . . . With this approach, Jeejeebhoy lets Aban’s Accension remain a gentle allegory, which may play in the reader’s consciousness (as it has mine) for weeks or months.

Concussion Is Brain Injury

Restoring your life after brain injury

  • Dental Health After Brain Injury
    Traumatic brain injury can impair both saliva composition and production, leading to tooth decay. Better cooperation between medicine and dentistry could prevent increased damage.
  • What Gives You Meaning After Brain Injury?
    Personal Perspective: Brain injury concentrates your mind on the essential question: “What will give me meaning in my life?”
  • What Is Brain Injury Grief?
    Understanding your brain injury grief starts with two types of grief states. Neuroscience has begun to teach us how the brain feels grief, but not how damage affects it.
  • How Inclusive of Brain Injury Is Climate Action?
    Personal Perspective: Knowledge and experience pre-brain injury does not equate to can-do afterward. Inclusivity means creating systems that don’t disrupt our functionality.
  • Bitterness: What Is Its Function?
    Is feeling bitter after brain injury an attitude that needs psychotherapy or is it serving a function whose cause you need to understand so as to heal it?
Acceptance over and under grief. Text image.

Concussion Is Brain Injury:
Treating the Neurons and Me

The book is divided into chapters where some are like a novel because she is telling us her thoughts through this nightmare and then [other chapters are] more like science information . . . to give encouragement and advice. A very brave woman.
