Heddy had a heart attack and stroke in 2023. The stroke led to aphasia.
Heddy joined Living Well with Aphasia.
“I hadn’t heard of aphasia before, but I soon learned what it meant for me. I’ve always been outgoing, the life and soul of any gathering, so struggling to find even simple words has been an adjustment. While it can be frustrating at times, I’ve been learning new ways to communicate and adapt.”
“I didn’t know what to expect when I joined the course. It turned out to be an incredible experience. The support from others who truly understood made all the difference.”
“I may not be exactly the same Heddy as before. But I’ve discovered a new way forward. Life has changed, and I’ve had to adjust. Thanks to CHSS and the people I’ve met, I have support, connection, and hope for the future.”
