Brain Injury: Motor Vehicle Accident

Explanation of Mask: The purpose and black zig zags on my mask represent what my journey looks like – back and forth, and then back again! I believe in never ever giving up; keep trying, keep working, and never stop.  I am thankful for life and for my husband’s support; we are survivors! I live simply and try to speak out and educate others.  I feel tired at the end of the day and week, and I experience memory issues dealing with constant strategies.  I am overcome with sadness and grief at times for what was lost in my accident.  “Broken brain syndrome” is what I say when things go wrong and those around me see.
