When a loved one sustains a traumatic brain injury, the entire family is immediately affected. During the acute period, there is often a fear of the unknown. Family members will rally around their loved one while they try to understand what has happened and what the future will hold. All family members will experience the disability in some way and eventually they must all learn to cope with the reality of living with someone who has suffered a brain injury.
