Stroke after 40
A stroke can create a dividing line between how life was and how it feels now. In the years after 40, that experience may sit alongside a career, family responsibilities and plans that were already taking shape.
People's experiences are very different, including how they feel about independence, relationships and returning to familiar parts of life. This topic looks at the personal and social side of life after stroke, with space for the perspectives of partners and family members as well as those who have experienced it themselves.
