ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the other people's brain injury survivor accounts. As part of the author's goal to put bad things behind him, recapture hope and move on, he thought that it would be helpful to delve into what other people had written on the aftermath of surviving brain injury. Through reading other people's stories, a recurring theme he found was how others had dealt with hidden damage and how utterly normal they otherwise presented themselves to be. Through personal experience, author can vouch for this as once when he was out for a meal, a person he had just met was telling him about his friend's friend who he heard was in a severe cycling crash. The stories the author read also encouraged him to try and help other survivors. As part of this he worked at Headway, the brain injury association, and through this he met numerous people suffering from the same "disability" as him.
