Share Your Story: Your Journey Can Inspire Others

When your child suffers an anoxic brain injury, it can feel like the world has suddenly become smaller—isolated, overwhelming, and filled with uncertainty. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned through my own journey with Harper, it’s this: you are not alone.

There is power in sharing our stories—power in breaking the silence, in letting other families know they’re not walking this path alone, and in offering hope to those who are just beginning this journey.

Why Your Story Matters

Every family’s experience with anoxic brain injury is unique, but we all share common threads:
✔ The moment life changed in an instant
✔ The search for answers, therapies, and support
✔ The heartbreak, the hope, the unexpected victories
✔ The impact on siblings, marriages, and family life
✔ The resilience it takes to keep moving forward

Your story could be the one that gives another parent hope on their hardest day.

Your words could help a caregiver feel seen and understood.

Your experiences could guide another family toward a therapy or resource that makes all the difference.

Ways to Share Your Story

We welcome a variety of perspectives and experiences, including:
✔ Personal Recovery Journeys – The challenges, the triumphs, and everything in between
✔ Therapy & Treatment Experiences – What worked, what didn’t, and lessons learned
✔ Siblings & Family Impact – How an anoxic injury affects the entire family, and how you’ve navigated it
✔ Advice for Newly Affected Families – The things you wish you had known in the beginning

How to Submit Your Story

  1. Write from the heart – Your story doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to be real.

  2. Include details that matter – What helped? What was the hardest part? How did your family adapt?

  3. Share a photo (optional) – A picture can help make your story even more impactful.

Together, We Can Create a Community of Hope

No one should have to navigate this journey alone. By sharing our stories, we can uplift, inspire, and support one another. Whether your child’s injury happened recently or years ago, whether your journey has been filled with progress or painful setbacks—your experience matters.

If you’re ready to share, we’re ready to listen.
