I would love to start a group each week called Real Talk. As much as the social groups and 6 week courses are fun and sociable in what can be a very lonely experience, I feel and believe that there is a huge need for deeper stroke related topics. This would include struggles with speech, weaknesses in the body, memory loss, loneliness, asphasia and much more.
Obviously because of what I have been through myself this is something very close to my heart. The help and support out there is amazing but I believe the deeper discussions and mental effects support is lacking. I believe that the only people that could manage this are people that have lived it themselves. If anyone feels the same and would find a group like this benefiting than just a social group then please feel free to message me.
