He Hasn't Given Up, Even Though It Looks Like It | 211

Not every silence after a stroke means someone's given up.

If your husband has no motivation to do anything since his stroke or aphasia, here are the two most commonly confused reasons why, and the one tell that actually separates them.

If you're afraid the two of you are drifting apart and you don't know why, it's worth taking a step back to see what you're actually holding. https://aphasiacarepartnercompass.com

Gary's guitar case has sat closed for six years. Mitch won't start his physical therapy exercises no matter how many times his wife asks. Two wives, two husbands, the same fear underneath: he's given up. Neither of them was right. In this episode, you'll learn the tell that separates apathy from abulia, two conditions that look identical from the outside and need completely different responses.
