Name: Betty B. Wife/Caregiver of Robert (Bob) B.

City: Goodyear, AZ

Brain Injury: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). My husband, Bob, a hang glider pilot for 38 years, had an accident at the age of 67. His hang glider was not properly connected so it didn’t release as it should. He was then pulled straight into the ground.

Explanation of mask:  The top of the mask represents Bob’s hang glider and me with him. This was our typical hang glider weekend, it was our social life. We had a marriage partnership, now we have a caregiver/survivor relationship. I love my husband very much and miss that husband-wife relationship. I thank God that Bob survived and we are now moving down that pathway at the bottom, it has its up and downs, to recovery.
