How to deal with having a stroke

It is not always easy to deal with someone that has gone
through a stroke in your life. If you or someone that you
know has been the victim of a stroke, then you must know
that this is one of the hardest times that a person can go
through. It is very unpredictable and there are no side
effects that will be the same. It is important to make sure
that you are giving the right amount of support and care to
anyone that has known the devastation of a stroke.

There are negative emotions that a person is going to have
to go through when they are the victims of a stroke.
Feeling sad about the ability to do something that you once
could do so well is torture for some. This is going to be a
normal emotion and one that many people will go through.
You need to learn how to accept this and anyone that is
helping a stroke victim out should also know that this is a
sensitive area that has to be dealt with the right way.

The following will be some of the emotional feelings that a
person can go through when they are trying to help someone
get over a stroke. You should pay attention to these
problems and treat them as you can with each person that
you are dealing with.

* Emotional stability, sudden laughing or crying

* Anxiety

* Grief at the loss of mobility

* Humiliation

* Depression

* Memory loss

* Confusion

A person that is suffering from a stroke will have
different on the area of the brain injury. People who have
had a strong on the right side of their brain will tend to
experience memory problems, time disorientation and
emotional highs and lows. They may also be less able to use
abstract thinking and talk too much.

People that have had a stroke on the left side of their
brain may have more problems with their speech and reading
abilities as well. They will also be more cautions and get
frustrated a lot easier. The left-brain injuries are more
often from depression. This is not exact but it is a good
theory for why people that are depressed go through such a
terrible time with their physical and emotional pain.

Remember to have compassion, love and understanding when it
comes to helping someone that has dealt with a stroke. This
is the best way to get them back on track and keep them
motivated for a fast recovery. You want to get them through
the hard times and keep them ready for the better times
that are coming.
