About this listen

In this heartfelt episode of Real Lives of TBI Wives, host Erika Brouillette welcomes Gloria Longsworth, who shares her powerful journey as the wife of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivor. Gloria recounts meeting her husband Gabe in Germany and how their life was turned upside down when he suffered a massive stroke while they were living in South Korea during the COVID-19 pandemic.

From navigating Gabe’s complex recovery abroad to relocating him to the U.S. for long-term care, Gloria reveals the raw realities of being a primary caregiver, a mother to a young daughter, and a woman fighting for her family’s future. She speaks openly about the emotional toll of caregiving, the challenges of adapting to new physical limitations, and the unexpected path that led her to launch a kimchi business to support her household.

Gloria’s story is a testament to unwavering love, creative resilience, and the strength it takes to build a new life after everything changes.
