Aphasia Wisdom from a carepartner, Hollie Parsons and her husband Roger. “Over the last 6.5 years as we navigated our communication difficulties and saw progress, I would say to him ‘You keep returning to me more and more every day.’ From my perspective it felt like he was physically here with me but very far away at the same time. As he regained words, phrases, and his personal characteristics over time, I felt him returning to me more and more—the man I remembered and the man I married. “ “What I learned from him just recently when we discussed this perspective, is that he felt he was always here, always right next to me the entire time but could not express his individual characteristics and personality. They were there all along but just as his words were difficult to express with aphasia so were his personal traits. This discussion was truly mind-blowing. And as often as I try to see things from his perspective I realize I was very off the mark on this scenario.” #AphasiaAwar...
