About this listen
In this week's episode of Real Lives of TBI Wives, Rosalyn Fast takes us through her emotional and transformative journey as a caregiver to her husband, Donald, who sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in 1997. Rosalyn recounts the day that forever changed their lives, sharing the slow realization of the severity of Donald's injuries and the overwhelming challenges they faced, from medical struggles to a heartbreaking legal battle they ultimately lost.
As their marriage and daily life were irrevocably altered, Rosalyn faced the daunting task of navigating the world of TBI with little support or understanding from the community. Amidst the hardships, she found solace and purpose through journaling, Tai Chi, and community work, emphasizing the profound importance of resilience, support systems, and finding personal strength through it all. Rosalyn’s story is a testament to the power of endurance, the search for healing, and the unyielding love that sustains caregivers through the most difficult journeys.
