“I didn’t just lose some words — I’ve lost parts of how others see me.” Debra Meyerson recently shared how life after stroke has reshaped how she shows up as a mother, partner, academic, leader, and now a grandmother. With speech that’s slower and less fluent, moments of silence sometimes invite others to step in — but they also reveal something powerful: recovery isn’t only physical. It’s about reclaiming space, redefining identity, and being seen for the fullness of who you are. 💬 Which parts of your identity have grown stronger, clearer, or newly meaningful since your stroke? #StrokeOnward #StrokeRecovery #ReclaimingIdentity #Aphasia #LifeAfterStroke #Resilience #DebraMeyerson
