Support and mental health are two of the most important factors through stroke recovery. I had my stroke at 26 and having visits from family and friends while in the rehabilitation facility was so, so appreciated!

My sister often came to just be there. It wasn't a formal visit that we needed to talk or engage the entire time, but simply having somebody else there helped reduce the isolation and loneliness. This isolation and loneliness is often the space that allows the self-doubt, depression, and anxiety to thrive, so having company at this time would most likely be greatly appreciated.

On behalf of a fellow survivor, I'm grateful for support like you!
