To me the biggest challenges to overcome include the fear of becoming irrelevant and the guilt that my stroke impacted the family. I could no longer work in my old capacity to grow my career. I could not drive out to my friends’ party. I could not take my kids to games. My younger daughter was only 7 when I suffered the stroke. Both of my girls were totally terrified.
