Brain Injury, Trauma, and Grief: How to Heal When You Are Alone

Brain Injury, Trauma, and Grief is the self-help book people with brain injury have been waiting for. Shireen Jeejeebhoy draws on her experience seeking treatments that heal neurons and post-traumatic stress disorder. She's researched a road map for people looking to recover from brain injury and the subsequent trauma and brain injury grief. Brain injury grief is barely addressed by health care professionals, but having personally experienced it and having to develop her own therapeutic process to heal, she provides step-by-step Action Plans to start the healing.

 

Healing from a brain injury often focuses on strategies and rest, but what no one addresses is the other injuries -- the emotional trauma that accompanies the aftermath of living with a brain injury -- and the effect of not healing the neurons.

 

Loneliness persists even when surrounded by people. One traumatic event or a series changes an expected future. Family and friends experience the initial trauma as well, but how they experience it can lead to modifying their behavior around their injured loved one, consciously or subconsciously pulling away, or not having the tools or wherewithal to help them cope through the isolation and deep feelings of loss.

 

Jeejeebhoy understands what people are really looking for is recovery that's true recovery. Brain Injury, Trauma, and Grief offers hope, inspiration, and actionable tools to help people with brain injury cope with the emotional strain of brain injury, heal their grief and treat their neurons, and discover forgiveness, healing, and light in the darkness.

 

With this brilliant and compassionate map -- a complement to Jeejeebhoy's memoir Concussion Is Brain Injury: Treating the Neurons and Me and the related website -- the reader will be able to step onto the road to reclaiming their life and healing emotionally.

About the Author

Shireen Jeejeebhoy is an award-winning author. Shireen writes novels and non-fiction, blogs about Toronto and brain injury, and creates visual art.

Shireen's first book, Lifeliner: The Judy Taylor Story (2007), was an award-winning biography about a patient and her pioneering doctor whose ground-breaking work made it possible to live without eating. A Canadian innovation, this artificial life support saves tens of thousands of lives every year around the globe.

She, Shireen's first novel, was a finalist for the 2012 The Word Guild Awards, Novel – Futuristic Category,

Shireen's latest book Concussion Is Brain Injury: Treating the Neurons and Me (2017) was short-listed for the 2018 Word Awards and garnered seven five-star reviews and an invitation to blog on Psychology Today. Using this memoir as a launch pad, Shireen advocates for replacing standard medical care with effective neurostimulation and neuromodulation therapies to restore people's health and return them to their full potential. This advocacy lead her to become the brain injury consultant and dramaturge on Brain Storm (play, 2020). Brain Storm ran at Dancemakers Studio in Toronto's historic Distillery District just before COVID-19 shut down Toronto.

Shireen has written several novels that feature Toronto as a character and star women finding their way without romance giving them the answers. Women talk to each other about something other than a man, and, drawing on her tri-continent background, diversity emerges naturally in her stories. Dogs and cats cavort in supporting roles.
