Deborah Delgado, Traumatic Brain Injury Project Director for the Disability Rights Network of Pennsylvania
"I wish this book had been available when my husband was injured. Having the term "brain injury" thrown at me with nothing to explain it was terrifying. Garry Prowe spoke with many survivors and caregivers. He tells the story of all of us, and he tells it well."
Cindy Reed, Tampa, Florida
"The world of brain injury is foreign and scary. I wish we had Successfully Surviving a Brain Injury after our son’s injury. There are many books on the medical aspects of brain injury, but few about the emotions that accompany it. The assurance that these feelings are normal is so helpful! I hope every critical care hospital has copies of this book."
Deanna Kritch, Elmira, Oregon
"My son sustained a brain injury and we were numb as we walked in the fog. Successfully Surviving a Brain Injury would have made such a huge difference in our understanding of brain injury. Most important of all, it would have given us some very much needed hope. The doctors and nurses do not have the time to even come close to imparting the information contained in this book."
Judith Hacks, Ontario, Canada
"We have undergone the heartache, stress, hope, and discouragement of our son’s brain injury for nearly six years. Garry Prowe truly understands brain injury. Not only has he lived it, but he has interviewed many others who shared their stories with him."
Dee Strickland Johnson, Phoenix, Arizona
"I would have given anything to have a book like Successfully Surviving a Brain Injury when we were stumbling our way through the days, weeks, and months of dealing with my son’s traumatic brain injury. It is so complete and easy to understand."
Joan Dunham, St. Petersburg, Florida
"Successfully Surviving a Brain Injury gives hope to survivors by providing answers to questions we either can't get out due to our injury or don't even know to ask. The most important thing I learned is that the survivor is never going to be the person he was before his injury. But that doesn't mean he still can’t be a contributing member of society."
Dave McGuire, 3-year survivor, Vancouver, Canada
"Successfully Surviving a Brain Injury deals so well with the emotional issues of living with a brain injury that other books skim over or ignore completely. Even the darkest clouds have a silver lining. But it takes exceptional people like Garry Prowe to help others look beyond the darkness."
Jode Webster, 18-year survivor, Gisborne, New Zealand
