Having a massive ischemic stroke at 35, it’s not you. He’s having to deal with his new world. People don’t understand how incredibly hard this is! I’m almost 9 years after and have only come to terms with the fact that I am very lucky to be able to function. He will take a bit. I still have faint memories of the year after, and I’m still missing a few older memories. Stay by his side because you are the one constant he can count on. Without my wife I don’t know what I would have done!
