StrokeConnection SPOTLIGHT

 

Will they ever really know me?

Stroke survivor Debra Meyerson and Steve Zuckerman, her husband and “carepartner” after stroke, founded the nonprofit Stroke Onward to help survivors, families and caregivers navigate the emotional journey to rebuild their identities and rewarding lives. As guest writers, they share their experiences and insights in their post-stroke journey.

In this column, Debra reflects on 2023 and her continued efforts to successfully navigate her complex emotional journey almost 14 years after her stroke.
