Relationships can change after brain injury, and that experience looks different for everyone.
For some, it can feel harder to keep up with social circles, stay connected, or be understood in the same way as before. Some may drift from old friends or relationships as things change in their life.
For others, relationships may grow stronger, with deeper support, understanding, and connection. You might make new friends who have been through a similar experience.
There’s no one “right” experience, and no single way relationships should look. After a brain injury, it is important to simply be surrounded by people who love and support you, and acknowledge the ways in which you may have changed.
