Deborah Berry replied to Deborah Berry's discussion What is your greatest Challenge right now?"Joseph,
Are you referring to the peer group to support other survivors? As a mentor for many years, a coach and counselor I find supporting, guiding and being a confidant requires great patience. I see it like this... healing is like a butterfly. No…"

Deborah-
I was very touched by your little video that explains what has occured in your life. As I am about to "jump off the ledge" and trust the Lord once again for my life, you inspired me. After watching your video I am under the impression that you also know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior...if I am wrong please forgive me. As I embark on the next chapter of my life post TBI 15 years I covet your prayers or anyone else that is reading this. Still seeking God like air to reveal the actual purpose of my severe tramatic brain injury....Spiritual growth is painful. Please plead with the Lord to speak thru His Holy Spirit and place me in His perfect will.....I just want peace and direction for my life. Thanks Deborah and thank you for reading this. Look forward to getting to know you. Kerry

David Money replied to Matt Ioerger's discussion Biggest problem"As for myself, I volunteer on good brain days. That helps me feel productive. With the economy the way it is, sometimes places don't even need volunteers, which hurts when your just trying to do something. Keep on trying.
