Stroke Survivor Stories
You may find it helpful and encouraging to read our stroke survivor stories, particularly if you have shared some of the experiences and are able to identify with emotions, feelings and issues raised. Knowing that you are not alone and that other people are also reclaiming their lives after a stroke can help reduce feelings of isolation. It can also be useful to read about different coping strategies that other younger stroke survivors have used.
You can filter the stories by stroke type or cause, simply click one of the options below.
This is not an exhaustive list but the most common types and causes that are referred to within our Survivor Stories.
People often find that writing their story can be a difficult but cathartic and positive process, it can help in reaching acceptance and moving forward.
