Everyone who’s done it knows – packing, purging and moving is stressful. Communication is more challenging because of aphasia.

Have you been able to apply strategies to deal with them effectively?

Our daughter is getting married soon, and like many parents, we’re filled with joy.

Who am I now?

I remind myself yet again – it’s ok to grieve and all the ways I can still enjoy it.

Aphasia can make it difficult to clearly express thoughts or speak fluently. This can happen ordering at a restaurant or speaking at a wedding.

Aphasia wisdom from Terence, stroke survivor

“Aphasia affects language, not intelligence. Please do not rush us. Do not complete every sentence for us unless we ask for help. Do not assume we have nothing to say just because we need more time to say it."

#AphasiaAwarenessMonth

[Stroke Onward @StrokeOnward]

June is #AphasiaAwarenessMonth

Aphasia is a language disorder most often caused by stroke that affects speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. It does not affect intelligence.

Nearly 1 in 3 stroke survivors experiences aphasia.
