Instructions to Finding Peace in Pain

I thought I had everything figured out: a healthy body, nothing to complain about, and two great job offers at the age of 24. Up to that point, I had led a very active, successful and happy life. Then, shortly after my 24th birthday, I had a hemorrhagic stroke completely out of the blue, caused by a very rare vein malformation that I didn't know I had been living with my whole life. I woke up a month later in the hospital, not being able to walk or control my left arm. Life as I knew it had been turned upside down. I had to learn to live with these physical deficits and the pain caused by this sudden, drastic change in my life.

This book is about my journey to reclaim my life and the methods I employed to remain positive and at peace through the arduous journey. By following the strategies and techniques contained in this book, my hope is that others can also stay hopeful and find peace while dealing with physical, emotional and psychological pain.
