Self-care after a #stroke looks different for all survivors. One focus of Stroke Onward is to assist #survivors in establishing a way to care for their mental health. Physical recovery is essential - but so is the Emotional Journey.

My life is like two sides of the same coin. One side is shiny and reflects my gratitude. The other is dull and darkened by my grief of all I have lost. Daily I make the choice to face the world - shiny side up! #life #Grateful #PositiveEnergy #stroke
